wants us to know joy and fulfillment, even in the
midst of our suffering. Jesus calls each of us out of
the tomb of our mistakes. Like he did with Lazarus,
Jesus wants to unbind us so we can be fully alive.
Take a moment and breathe in God’s love…and then
be still and see where you are on your journey to
God.

O Lord, help me to renew my innermost being. I stumble and fall often. My
many failures disappoint me. But You never treat me as I deserve. You
close your eyes to my faults. I trust in your endless mercy and compassion.
O Lord, I need your help to truly purify my deepest being, to create there a
more suitable chamber for Your spirit to reside. I appeal to Your gentle-
ness, O God of mercy. I seek Your divine help, O God of compassion. I
cling to Your faithfulness, O God of endless love. Amen.
