Opening Prayer: O Lord my God, how I long to recapture the
purity and joy of the Garden—when I was able to stand before you (and others)
naked and unashamed. That, indeed, is
what I was made for. But this side of
heaven that is not my reality. My
reality is filled with fear and shame; hiding and covering—terrified that I
will be exposed, found out, not enough.
How I genuinely long for true communion with you; total vulnerability;
deep trust—to be fully known and fully loved.
Have mercy on me! Amen.
Scripture Reading for the Day: Romans 13:8-14
Reading for Reflection:
We must have a real
living determination to reach holiness.
“I will be a saint” means I will despoil myself of all that is not God;
I will strip my heart of all created things; I will live in poverty and
detachment; I will renounce my will, my inclinations, my whims and fancies, and
make myself a willing slave to the will of God. (A Gift for God by
Mother Teresa of Calcutta)
Reflection and Listening: silent and written
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus, strip us bare of all that is not of you and clothe us fully with your righteousness. Amen.
