1/17/16 Through 1/23/16

1/17/16 Through 1/23/16

Sunday

In the water changed to wine

The Lord beginning to define

His mission here to make us whole

And grant to us His life in full.

Monday

A sacrifice no substitute

For doing as we're told

For sacrifice cannot commute

Persistent pride I'm told.

Tuesday

Each one anointed specially

For their specific task.

The Spirit wants us all to see

We need, but only ask.

Wednesday

Lord, when I clearly hear Your call

Let me respond by giving all.

Then make me strong and make me wise,

That I may never compromise.

For those You call You qualify

To be so bold and testify

Before the mighty, and the king

By patient, and long suffering.

Thursday

Our pride invites the evil one

To dwell within the soul

Corruption of the thoughts begun,

He moves to take the whole.

Humility accepts His will

At every time and place,

And though we have to suffer still

The time is filled with grace.

Friday

Virgin womb, that holy place

Within the Mother full of grace.

This haven of virginity

That cradles there Divinity.

Spread your grace throughout our land

That in His will, we all would stand

Defending life at every stage,

In every place, at every age.

Saturday

Lord grant to me a struggle stern

That through the trials I may learn,

The wisdom of a humble heart

And gladly do my simple part.
