O good and dearest Jesus, I kneel before your face. With all my heart I ask you to place in my heart more faith, hope and charity. Give me a true sorrow for my sins and a strong will to do better With great sorrow and grief I look upon your five wounds and think about them. Before my eyes are the words that the prophet David said of you, O good Jesus: "They have pierced my hands and feet They have numbered all my bones."

O.K.
I am renewed.
Refocused.
It is all on His feet that I lay my woes. I look up at Him and release my fears and anxieties. It isn't for me to carry the cross of others'. It is for me to pray, to trust and to love...that's it.
So I want to share some pictures around the house that remind me, daily, of the need to remain on the path of repentence.
