Good Friday

A simple prayer before the meal,


Well, it's good friday, but not so good. I am getting confirmed tomorrow. i feel terrible [ on trial] may i suffer for the cross. may i suffer for Christ. i realize only now that i am ash. I am ash. 
may i suffer, as ash, for Jesus. strengthen me as angels, i ask so that i may have the power to do the Will of the father, and not my own. May i douse oil on my head, so that no woman or man may know my pain, but may i have many ----- to grow in humility. God has used the most wicked of men do the most beautiful of his works. I am wicked, but i ask too, that he use a more worthy soul. Grant me the power to do good, forgive me for the failing to do what you have called me to do. I smell of only myself, and my perfumes are not of the Lord. Forgive me, strengthen me, weaken me, and then strengthen me, purge me, silence me. externally. internally. 

Amen
