"For we did not listen to the voice of the LORD, our God, in all the words of the prophets he sent us, but each of us has followed the inclinations of our wicked hearts, served other gods, and done evil in the sight of the LORD, our God." Baruch 1:21-22
None of us are innocent of these words, we all fall victim to our own devices. If we would but listen to our souls and the will of God, how much different life would be. If we would think before responding, if we would take our own pride and ego and live the will of God. Thankfully we have confessions, we can go confess our evil ways and receive the healing graces from this sacrament. "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful." James 5:16. When was the last time you received absolution for going against God?
Dear Lord God, we act without thinking turning mountains out of mole hills. Remove these burdens from us so we may better shine the light of Christ through our eyes. Help us see the chaos we create by being self serving and not listening to You or our own souls. Lord, You saved us from ourselves if we would heed and follow You. Protect us this day Lord and be ever in our thoughts and actions. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us.
