Christ is my rock, my refuge, my strong hold
Firm as the tree root that clutches the ground.
He who has faith, builds without worry.
Not like man, who built up on sea,
I set my house on a solid foundation,
Christ my rock, the root of my souls’ recreation.

Sharing a thought from today’s Euchalette, p. 1:

Blessed Are the Merciful, For They Shall Find Mercy:

"As we proceed in our Lenten pilgrimage, today we are enriched by the unforgettable example of Jesus who offers his forgiveness and restores dignity to the adulterous woman who had been dragged in front of him in shame and fear. The teaching of mercy and forgiveness conveyed last Sunday through a parable, today is offered us through an example from real life.

The challenging sentence: 'Let the one among you who has no sin be the first to cast a stone’ is directed not only to the hypocritical scribes and Pharisees of two thousand years ago, but also to those among us who easily judge and condemn others. We should never forget that we, too, are frail and sinful, and that we must learn to be merciful if we want to enjoy God’s mercy." (p.1.)
 
March 19, 2013 - Tuesday, 5th Week of Lent:

Collect Prayer:
“Grant us, we pray, O Lord,
perseverance in obeying your will,
that in our days the people dedicated to your service
may grow in both merit and number.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.”

“Enlighten, O God of compassion,
the hearts of your children, sanctified by penance,
and in your kindness

a gracious hearing when they cry out to you.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.”
