Preparatory Activity 3

2. Calm your heart.
Clear your mind.
Silence your body.

3. Slowly and deeply…
Breathe in...
Breathe out…

4. Breathe in…
Breathe out…
Do this repeatedly until you feel
that you are ready to proceed.

5. Ground yourself in the present.

6. Where are you?
What’s on your mind?
How are you feeling?
Give yourself a few minutes to
look deep within you.

7. By connecting to our present, let us
move forward without losing
ground.
Imagine yourself 5 years from now.

8. 5 years from now…
Where would you like to be?
What would you like to experience?
To accomplish?
To be?

9. Stay with this vision.
Be in the experience.
Be that person.

10. What did you feel while you were
doing the activity?
Why? Where are these feelings
coming from?

11. What insights can you draw about
your life from the activity?

13. Did you like the song?
What does the song say to you?

14. What’s your most favorite line?
Why?

15. WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN LIFE
WOULD BE SUCH A MYSTERY? FOR THE
WORLD IS YEARNING STILL AND OUR
HEARTS KEEP BURNING. WE DARE TO
BELIEVE THERE’S SOMETHING GREATER
THAN OUR HEARTS.

16. Every day we are faced with life’s
contradictions:
Joys and pains
Successes and failures
Holding on and letting go
Life and death

17. However difficult or confusing it gets,
the constant invitation for us is to see
through these experiences as
moments of love.

18. A love that overflows from what is
beyond us. A love that will always be
with us in our journey, embracing us,
filling us from within, assuring us
that all will be well.

19. A hope that springs from knowing
that we are guided by one who’s love
is far greater than what we can ever
imagine.
