Prayers...

Let all of my thoughts, O Lord, fly unto Thee, who are the Lover of my soul and the source of my life. Bless me, a wretched sinner, that I may realize my sinfulness and turn away from it. As did Mary Magdalene, may I despise and abhor my past iniquity, and never return to it. Tear from me all affection for sin; may my heart be torn in two at the thought of offending Thee, sweet Savior.

I cannot move forward without Thee, God and Father, Abba. I can see nothing apart from Thy light, Holy Spirit! Save me, Jesus! Be my refuge and my strength, my water and my bread. Depart not from me, I implore Thee.

Amen.
