I said before that I would begin this journey at the beginning of the liturgical year, and that a day in the journey would take me a week in everyday life, like making the Exercises by the nineteenth annotation. My intention is to continue with my normal routine of morning prayer and evening examen, and to add two additional evening prayer sessions into my week. As much as is possible for me to do – I know that this will be challenging. Please wish me well and hold me in your prayers as I make this journey. So, here it begins.

I agree. Julian describes God as overflowing with such love for each and every one of us.
