God often works through desires purified by prayer, service, and the life of the Church.

Scripture reference

Psalm 37:4

Prayer prompt

Lord, purify my desires and order them to you.

Practice

Journal the desires that return during prayer.

Reflection questions

  • What desire leads toward faith, hope, and charity?
  • What desire leaves me restless or closed?
