Honesty is the Law of God

God wants our honesty 

In all things and in all our devotions.

Without honesty, 

God will accept nothing from us.

Our sacrifices will be worthless,

For God's Law, first written on stone, 

Now resides in our hearts and minds.

God's Law is first and foremost 

Honesty in all things.

Then kindness, love, gentleness, and last but not least, 

Compassion for all men.

Honesty makes our hearts into 

Temples of the living God

Dishonest people will not have 

God dwelling within them

For He will live in the hearts and minds of 

People who are honest.

God cannot and will not live 

In the hearts of unrepentant, dishonest people,

Because he is the truth for all times and places.

Amen

Love God and Your Neighbor - Day 9

Oh Jesus savior of all men

You opened the way to heaven
Through your teachings

You taught men to love God and their neighbor

Treating all people with kindness, compassion, and courtesy

That all people might come to know God and love Him

And to love their neighbor as they do themselves

A Prayer for the Church Militant - Day 8

Jesus be our joy

Joy for all the world, 

Hope for all peoples

Loving kindness to all

Oh Jesus, be our teacher of joy,

Light up our world 

Along the way

We walk each day

Because devotion to you, 

And showing kindness to others 

Is the way.

Each day, we pray 

That you leave us in this way.

Amen

The Precious Blood of Jesus - Day 7

Jesus shed his blood  for us,

But does this mean we should sin?

Not at all.

We should live in devotion to Him. 

Devoted to Him each and every day.

Following His teachings is the way to God.

Jesus shed His blood for us.

We need to practice compassion for all, 

Because this is what Jesus would have done

Jesus, be our teacher

Help us to be loving in all things we do and say

So we can follow your teachings.

Amen

Pick and Choose Carefully - Day 6

Oh, Mother Mary, 

Our most compassionate Queen of Heaven and earth

Oh, sweet ever gentle Mother of God,

Help us to live out the teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

To be kind to others,

No matter what they look like or

What we feel about what they do

For our Lord and teacher, Jesus was kind to all people.

Giving them what they most needed,

Because love, compassion, mercy, and justice are the heart of God’s law.

We may pick and choose, but we must be careful what we choose.

Amen

Pride - A Meditation for Day 5

Pride makes us fall.

The higher our pride,

The greater the fall.
