Day 21

  

Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer — it does not rise from deceitful lips. – Psalm 17:1

 

As yet my love is weak,

my heart imperfect,

and so I have great need

of your strength and comfort.

Visit me often, I pray,

and instruct me

in the way of your laws.

Set me free from

all evil passions,

and heal my heart from

all immoral desires.

And thus,

healed and cleansed in spirit,

may I learn how blissful it is

to plunge into

the depths of your love.

Let your love dissolve

my hard heart.

Let your love

raise me above myself.

Let your love

reveal to me joy beyond imagination.

Let my soul

exhaust itself in

singing the praises of your love.

Let me love you

more than I love myself,

and let me love myself

only for your sake.

And let me see your love

shining in the hearts of all people,

that I may love them as I love you.

– Thomas Kempis

 

Let us pray:

Lord hear our prayers.
