Lent 2009: Day 29

Lenten Journey Through Psalm 119
the Spiritual Alphabet

Samekh

I hate every hypocrite;
your teaching I love.
You are my refuge and shield;
in your word I hope.
Depart from me, you wicked,
that I may observe the commands of my God.
Sustain me by your promise that I may live;
do not disappoint me in my hope.
*****

It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.

This I command you: love one another

(excerpt John 15)

Dear Heavenly Father

Thank you for giving us Jesus who would
choose from among men and women to
appoint those as His Lovers who
bear lasting fruit by
Your Command to Love

Love us,
Care for us,
Understand us,
heal us,
according to Your will,
in His Name
Amen
