God, our Creator, how wonderfully you made us. You transformed dust into your own image and gave it a share in your own nature; yet you are more wonderful in pardoning the one who had rebelled against you. Grant that where sin has abounded, grace may more abound, so that we can become holier through forgiveness and be more grateful to you.

peace
 
Lord, here in this place,
the current of life passing by.
How precious the grace,
You dote on my every sigh.

Where would I be,
had agony not settled in?
Your love I might flee,
and rush headlong into sin.

Instead we’re alone,
and sharing the slightest of pain.
In old age I’ve grown,
now counting suffering as gain.

Peace

For me its a visual thing, a visual meditation. It something I learned from Mother Angelica on EWTN. Picture yourself in front of Jesus, who has his fiery Passionate and Sacred Heart showing. You have a basket in your hand. Pluck your sufferings and pains from inside yourself and place them in the basket. Hand the basket to Jesus where He will burn it in the fire of His Love for you, taking them inside Himself.

I find this a very helpful meditation. I use it when I am tempted too and helps with that.

I hope this helps. God Bless.

Amen!! Thank you!! I am really blessed to be able to go to confession and receive communion. I did this weekend. I wish I could stay with God all the time in His house and not have to come back to all these worries and pains and anxious thinking about things.

That’sreally pretty. Thanks for sharing that also. It’s right to say that the pain and worry keep you from rushing in to sin too because when you worry you can’t think about anything other thanasking God for help too. Thanks hazmat that was a good thing to share!!

Miss Morgan thank you very much for your prayers I hope so too. I love this meditation too it is such a powerful image and so glad that was shared. I remember to come back and look at this thread and think how much experience and wisdom we have as Catholics to share with each other and this is a wonderful example. God bless you both!!
 
I woke up this morning before my alarm clock and sat there and worried and felt anxious for awhile and then calmed down by praying and asking God to take all of it and let me do whatever He needs me to do today to help in the kingdom. Please know I am praying for everybody reading the thread. God bless you!
