Day 7: Inviting Christ into My Relationship Story

Theme: Reframing Relationships with Christ as the Foundation

First Reading:
Proverbs 8:22-31 – Wisdom describes her role in the creation of the world and her delight in the human race.
"When the Lord established the heavens, I was there, when he fixed fast the foundations of the earth... I found delight in the human race." (Proverbs 8:30-31)

Responsorial Psalm:
Psalm 8:4-9 – "What is man that you should be mindful of him?"
"O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!" (Psalm 8:1)

Gospel:
John 16:12-15 – Jesus speaks of the Holy Spirit, who will guide us into all truth and reveal Christ to us.
"He will take from what is mine and declare it to you." (John 16:15)

Reflection:

In Proverbs 8, we hear of wisdom’s delight in the creation of the world, especially in humanity. This passage speaks of the foundational role of wisdom and the joy God has in His creation. Just as Christ's love is foundational to our identity, it is also foundational to how we build relationships. By inviting Christ into our relationship story, we allow His wisdom and love to shape the way we interact with others. John 16:12-15 reminds us that the Holy Spirit reveals Christ’s truth, helping us live in harmony with God’s will for our relationships. Reflect today on how Christ’s presence can transform your relationships, allowing His love and wisdom to be the guiding force.

Action/Practice:

  • Reflect on one relationship where you would like to invite Christ’s wisdom and love to transform the dynamic. Write about how His presence can change the way you approach or relate to this person.

  • Pray today, inviting Christ into the center of your relationships and asking for His guidance and healing.

Daily Goal:

  • Invite Christ into your relationships today. Allow His love and wisdom to guide you in reframing how you interact with others, starting with one important relationship.

Journal Prompt:
