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.
Blessed are those in whom the Lord sees no guilt
and in whose spirit is found no deceit.
 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.

Isaiah 65:24

Daily Meditation:  Isaiah 65:24


Isaiah 65:24

"---- Mine, before you call, I will have answered; while you are yet speaking I will have heard."

"My Beloved, I have asked You for a full measure of Your Holy Spirit.  You know I need Him if my life is to be pleasing to You always, if my prayers are to rise up to the  highest heavens like fragrant incense.  You have assured me in Your Word this morning that before I even make my pleas You have heard and answered me.  I believe my Lord and I thank You for always being so very gracious and generous in loving me and in ministering to me."
