Ash Wednesday



                My dear loving Lord, today I am especially reminded of my littleness. The ashes traced on my forehead remind me that I am but a creature made by You to live for You and, ultimately, to return to You. I pray that my time on earth not be wasted. May I live every day preparing my soul for eternity with You. May I not be distracted by the earthly things that are meant to help us on our journey to You and not to detain us on our way. Oh my dear loving Lord, I wander this would seeking You and Your precious Sacred Heart so full of love. May this season of Lent refocus my soul to travel the path You have laid out for me with confidence that You are at the end of that path waiting with open arms saying, “Well done my good and faithful servant, come and share your master’s joy.”
                “Yes my dear little child, I am there waiting for you. It makes me sad when you are distracted, detained or wander off my path. But it brings Me great joy when you ask for My help and grace to set you back on course. When you return and walk straight to Me, I see your beautiful, loving heart and it mirrors mine which gives Me great joy. So yes My dear faithful servant, come to Me that you may share your master’s joy!”
