Words of Jesus
Do not marvel that I said to you, `You must be born anew.' The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
John 3:7-8
Many people would like to attain union with God but they cannot bear the contradictions he sends them. They hate the sickness which strikes them, or the poverty they suffer, or the insults they receive. Since they cannot be resigned, they never succeed in reaching total union with God.
— St. Alphonsus Liguori
Abba, Father, Lord God, while I die to myself many times each day, I rise in the hope of being born anew. For while there is much I do not know about heaven and earth, I stand most convicted about all I do not know about myself. So I continue to look within, not for answers but for You. For of the things I know, I know that You live within me and I live with the hope that I will find and liken myself to that image of You in Jesus Christ which waits to be brought out in my thoughts, my words, my actions, my prayers and reflected in my walk. I know I stumble and I fall, but much worse is the thought that I chose or knowingly I allowed myself to think, say or do something that I know and or feel shames me in Your eyes and causing me to want to hide. But from this too I know that I will and must rise, never returning to the state where I accepted being separated from You. This I pray in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
