Yesterday we celebrated the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary in the womb of her mother, Ann. In my homily I spoke about Mary's purity and invited people to pray that each us might be even just a little more pure tomorrow than we are today. I invite you to make the same prayer...
Lord, help me be pure,
at least a little more pure tomorrow
than I am today...
Lord, help me be more pure:
more pure in my thoughts
more pure in my deeds,
more pure in my speech,
more pure in my motives,
more pure in my intentions,
more pure in my relationships,
more pure in my imagination,
more pure in my desires,
more pure in my dreams,
more pure in my hopes,
more pure in my ambition
more pure in my deed,
more pure in my choices,
more pure in my will,
more pure in my heart,
more pure in my mind,
more pure in my vision,
more pure in my love of you, O God,
and more pure in my love of my neighbor,
and more pure in my love of myself…
I know, Lord:
I'm asking for a lot of purity
but I'm praying for what I need
and I'm remembering
the angel's word to Mary:
"Nothing is impossible for God..."
Amen.
