In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

I ask your pardon for my sins

and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My Immaculate Mother St. Joseph,

my father and Lord,

my guardian angel, intercede for me.

With your permission, Lord Jesus Christ,

truly present with us in the Blessed Sacrament.

Lord Jesus, give us light,

give us instruction on this key means

to connect with you more profoundly,

more lovingly,

and that is your constant invitation to repentance and conversion.

Conversion and repentance are almost the same concept.

I guess step number one in conversion always harkens back to repentance.

The Father in the Parable of the Prodigal Son represents God our loving Father,

but also represents Jesus Christ, who is the mirror image of God the Father,

and we want to bring that parable to life in our prayer and in our life.

We know, because we're all a captive audience,

we're here because we want to follow Jesus more closely,
