Dear Lord,
I can’t think today. My mind doesn’t feel present at all, so even my prayers seem distant. I’m sorry if this is my own fault… not taking care of myself very well and giving my attentions to so many distractions. In times like these, I really appreciate the words of Saint Paul: “So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do.” (Romans 7:17-19)
Please help me to rest in Your Heart. I feel that only then will the shackles of sin be loosened. I find clarity and renewal from receiving Your sacraments, from the teachings of Your saints and holy priests, from Eucharistic adoration, and of course, from Your Divine Word, which is powerfully true and life-giving.
I was supposed to fast today, in honor of the Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children. Instead, I took an easier route. Needed to be gentle with myself, begin the process of detaching from my fears and anxieties. Thank You for helping me slowly get back up, catch up on my daily duties. Father Diego spoke about vocations in his homily this weekend. Please help me to fulfill Your calling for my life. Even if I’m a late bloomer or if it’s a call to be hidden and known only to You. May I always consecrate myself to You, through our Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph. Amen.
