Ezekiel 37:26-27, 

"---- Mine, I shall establish a covenant of peace with you, an everlasting covenant.  i shall settle you and you will increase and I will put my sanctuary in your midst forever.  I will make my home at your side, I will be your God and you and yours will be my people."

"My Beloved, every morning I come to you at dawn and You delight me with Your most holy Word.  I know Your  Word is true and that You are always faithful to Your promises and my heart is glad.  i will praise You always my Lord."

Leviticus 13:1-2, 44-46, 

 Sin is an ugly, defacing, stench filled thing my Lord.  Thank You for the remedy to sin - the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

1 Corinthians 10:31, 11-1

Beloved, like St. Paul I too should be able to say confidently, "Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ."  Will I ever be able to dare to echo his words? 

Psalm 32:1, 2, 5, 11

Blessed is the one whose sin is forgiven,

whose iniquity is wiped away.

2 Blessed are those in whom the Lord sees no guilt

and in whose spirit is found no deceit.

 5 Then I made known to you my sin

and uncovered before you my fault,

saying to myself,

“To the Lord I will now confess my wrong.”

And you, you forgave my sin,

you removed my guilt.

 11 Rejoice in the Lord, and be glad,

you who are upright;

sing and shout for joy,

you who are clean of heart.

These verses describe the experience of the Sacrament of Reconciliation so beautifully.  Thank You for this wonderful gift my Beloved.

Mark 1:40-45

Beloved, Your hand is constantly outstretched to touch me in pity and heal me.  thank You my Love, my Life, and  my Joy.
