Lenten Meditation - March 14, 2006

I want to love Thee and Thee alone, O my Savior – not the great joys Thy child sometimes receives from Thee. Help me to detach myself more and more from passing things and to attach myself to Thee. Give me the grace of being – by prayer at least, and by suffering – Thine instrument with souls, those who are dear to me, and those whom I do not know but who need my humble intercession with Thee.
