My dear friends, I have been quite ill with the flu and have not been able to post for a while. I am now on the road to recovery and am grateful for all your prayers.
Being ill reminds me of the truth of the saying “borrowed time.” We are all on borrowed time. In fact, everything we have is borrowed! Our talents, our senses, our families, our friends, indeed, life itself is borrowed from the good God- and one day we will have to return it! We will return every thing that God has allowed us during our sojourn in this Vale of Tears. We will have to make an accounting of all that we have borrowed. May we be good and faithful servants of the dear Lord and make a good return to Him on that of which we have temporary possession.
O God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Make my heart open to Your love and Your grace, so that all that you have graciously given me I may give back to You with good return. I know I fail often to do Your Will. Please forgive me all my character defects and mistakes. Make me a blessing to all in my life and give me, above all an attitude of gratitude. Through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, in the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
