Lent 2009: Day 37

Lenten Journey through the Spiritual Alphabet
Psalm 119, Sustainable Love

Qoph
I call with all my heart, O LORD;
answer me that I may observe your laws.
I call to you to save me
that I may keep your decrees.
I rise before dawn and cry out;
I put my hope in your words.
My eyes greet the night watches
as I meditate on your promise.
*****
So Pilate said to him, "Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you and I have power to crucify you?"

Jesus answered (him), "You would have no power over me if it had not been given to you from above. For this reason the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin."
(excerpt John 19)
***

Dear Heavenly Father, whom we know in the name of Jesus,

Hear me please,
and let me look a little with your eyes.

My sight will have to be brightened.
Then, I can glimpse infinity in the face of my brothers and sisters,
then, I can glimpse infinity in the face of my self.

My self could be darkened-dark by all that bright,
but then,
I would truly become lovely, ever so divine.

Amen,
Love
