November 12

​Dearest Sweet Jesus,
This morning we are frozen in utter disbelief. How can it be that we should gain an interest in Your blood? You died for us, who caused Your pain; You left Your Father's throne, so free, so infinite was Your grace. You emptied Yourself of all but love. For us, Adam's helpless race, You spilled Your life. Your immense and free mercy, O God, found each one of us. While our spirit lay imprisoned and bound in sin and nature’s night, Your eye diffused a quickening ray and caused us to wake from our dungeon of filth. Our chains fell off and our heart was free. Since then we rose and You became our Shepherd. We no longer dread condemnation. You are ours and we are Yours. We are clothed in Your righteousness and we say, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty. Blessed be our God, Amen.
