3/24/19 Through 3/30/19

Sunday

Scrutinize my heart this day

Draw me close within Your way.

Cleanse me with Your holy fire

Make Your will my heart's desire.

Walk me through the parted sea

Share the angel's bread with me.

Bend and shape the thoughts I think

Split the rock and give me drink.

Grant repentance for my sin

For children and my other kin.

Counting gain as none but loss,

Bring us all to love the cross.

Monday

The wonder of a child conceived

The Virgin Full of Grace received.

No spot or wrinkle on her soul.

Fulfilling words upon the scroll.

Tuesday

Forgiveness in the eyes of men

Is blotting out our sins, but when

It comes to passing on this gift

Our charity is not so swift.

This stinginess will not avail

If our own debtors we assail.

For Master wishes all to be,

His ministers of clemency.

Wednesday

In many ways we look to law

To justify a blatant flaw.

We look to laws proclaimed by man

To do what only God's law can.

The voice of many makes not right

When they persist in dark of night.

The shades of sin obscure what's true,

And make a shameless fool of you.

The only way to justify

Is with the one true law comply.

And teach the young to follow well

The word of God, that we heard tell.

Thursday

Let me listen well today,

Following the words You say.

Taking heed where I am wrong,

And placing You where You belong.

Often strayed by selfish whim

Losing my clear sight of Him.

Hearing not His precious call

To love enough to give Him ALL!

Friday

With heart and soul and mind and strength

Our love must reach to any length.

When neighbor's loved as self, you see,

The Kingdom is not far from thee.

The answer comes within the storm,

The way to love, and thus reform

Our lives to meet the great command,

And take His love to all the land.

Saturday

He whom wind and sea obey

Provides the surest loving way

To reach the end for which we seek

Among the humble and the meek.
