Lent 2009: Day 2

Lenten Journey through the Spiritual Alphabet
Psalm 119, Sustainable Love

Aleph, (part two)
May my ways be firm in the observance of Your laws!
Then I will not be ashamed to ponder all Yur commands.
I will praise You with sincere heart as I study Your just edicts.
I will keep Your laws; do not leave me all alone.

*****
Would it please be Your will
that Your Love inside me should so increase,
that without shame,
I may admit all I am by Your virtue?

My delight will be pure, as will my heart!
I will closely study Your appearance
and bear Your ways of Loving

Oh, and…
Would it also please be Your will to never leave me all alone and to not put me to the test?
