"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner"/ Wikipedia
I would like to offer You the perfect,
But all I have is me.
So, here I am,
Sorrowful, in all my misery.In hope I approach You,
Through the gaping wound in Your Side,
Through which flowed Your Mercy,
Your Final Word.Wash me, Son of God,
In that endless river,
Your Life poured out
Throughout Time.I stand, I kneel,
Then prostrate
At Your Cross,
I wait to receive You.You are taken down,
And placed in Mary’s arms,
It is in her arms,
I find You.There with You,
I am held fast,
Giving and receiving,
The Love You have won for Me.By Joann Nelander
Into Stillness 
Very lovely. You write the words I need to pray.
Thank you Barb. Praying without ceasing becomes easier with self-knowledge, if only to repeat ‘mea culpa’ without end …better still ‘Jesus.’
We would probably all love to offer perfection to the Lord, but instead we have to offer ourselves with all of our many imperfections! But He loves us anyway.
Beautiful thoughts!

Thank you Evan. Yes, He loves us warts and all. Amazing!
