Dear Lord God, I look back at the last forty eight hours with regret and disappointment; regret for the lost opportunity and disappointment in the lack of love and understanding, if not tolerance I have shown. How easily I let the same things upset and anger me over and over. Why do I expect others to change, it is I that must become ripe. Why to I allow myself to become discouraged over the same things. Clearly in my listening and being I expose myself to these things without being ready and prepared to be separate from being; to be present while being in the now; to be understanding while being in the now; to be compassionate while being in the now. For in the now I am not affected by the past; in the now I am not trying to change what has already happened; in the now I am not stopped from loving for what tomorrow may or may not bring. For it is in the now with You that I can create, empower and be abundant in faith, hope and love. O Lord that you would keep me in the now, and separate me as far as the east is from the west from yesterday while teaching me to use what I see in the now with You to develop and maintain eyes of faith for tomorrow. O Lord forgive my stubborn mind and hard heart. For the sake of My Lord Jesus’ sorrowful passion have mercy on me and on my love ones, Amen.
For the Lord is gracious and merciful and prefers the conversion of a sinner rather than his death. Patient and generous in his mercy, he does not give in to human impatience but is willing to wait a long time for our repentance. – St. Jerome
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation; 16 for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities — all things were created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
2 Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! 3 Know that the LORD is God! It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless his name! 5 For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures for ever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
33 And they said to him, "The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink." 34 And Jesus said to them, "Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35 The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days." 36 He told them a parable also: "No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it upon an old garment; if he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking old wine desires new; for he says, `The old is good.’"
