Holiness I desire

My Lord and my God
at times I wonder if truly
I comprehend how much
I mean to you

The more I desire holiness
the more I am aware of
my unceasing sinfulness
O how sensitive has become
this soul of mine who no more
tolerate lengthy time away from
the Sacrament of Reconciliation
my one in depth spiritual shower
through which I forget the Love
you are pouring on me
Wash me again
in your Precious Blood!
Wash me Lord!
Wash me Pure
for you

My dear Readers,

today I wish to thank all those of you who are taking the time to stop by and read.I see that I am blessed to have readers from many places as the map displays all the different countries following.

Today, so much happened. I am not sure where to start, so I will simply focus on the moment that inspired one of the poems - A thorough discussion on the Sacrament of Reconciliation at a gathering sparked the poem of tonight. Let us live convicted! Let us walk the path of Holiness... We are called to be Saints, and the path of sanctity is one of love that requires work: patience, mortification, and trust in God; Let us be aware of things that cause us to compromise God's Love in our life through venial sins that accumulate and become habits. Because God wishes to heal us, renew us and strengthen us, we must not like what has caused us to fall said the speaker. We find ourselves repeating the same sins again and again, because we forget to resolve ourselves to not commit those again. We forget that Jesus resurrected. We forget to hope. In fulfilling our penances, we do our best to not let our weaknesses take over, we surrender to God. Let us be strong, and know the sacrament of Reconciliation washes us and cleanses us.I was really inspired tonight.

Yet dear Readers, there will be lots of writing happening this weekend, and I am excitingly looking forward to it.
Do any of these writings inspire you? Do you agree with some? disagree with others ? Do they inspire to stand and do something you are called to as well? Do share your thoughts I hope :-)

Dear Readers, I am going joyfully to rest...

Hello my Readers,

Tonight's poem is inspired about what I discovered of myself today.
There is a phrase that I dread much, and from time to time it comes
haunting, but today I discovered a new angle of it; People -Pleaser!

Over the past month and half, I had to make few choices of letting
so many things that I had embraced; tonight I discovered while talking
it through that at times to embrace too much can also be a sign of
being a people-pleaser. Shocker!!!

I am indeed pleased I released myself of so many responsilibities, and
chose to focus on doing few things well. A professor of mine once
said: "There are times in life we are so busy serving God everywhere
that we forget to serve him with the very things He has entrusted us with".
So tonight's poem is a self acknowledgement, concise, haiku styled on
a few layers, repetitive.I am happy to be dedicating time to poetry again ...

Tonight I look at myself through the mirror of my writings, and
refuse to excuse myself.

I must now go and rest, as I am still recovering.

Good night and thank you
