Romans 7:18-25
verse 19... in my flesh. I can want to do what is right, but I am unable to do it.
My Beloved, I have just been lamenting a little earlier about the difficulty as well as the importance of mastering the desires of the flesh. How well St. Paul explains it. I desire with all my heart to do what is pleasing to God but the weakness of my flesh keeps me always in a state of combat with my desire to please You. Often I fail miserably. Thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit that helps me.
Luke 12:54-59
Beloved, thank You for the wonderful Sacrament of Reconciliation - here You make available to me the grace and strength to begin anew and to overcome my weaknesses. You help me to weed them out one weakness at a time Thank You for Your help in this lifelong struggle and in the end with Your help I will triumph.

77 Let your mercy come to give me life, for your law is my delight.
