Food
This Lent was successful. They will thoroughly enjoy their sweets tomorrow. I haven't had refined sugar in 4.5 years, so I will continue with my journey of recovery. I am one of those people who does not respond positively to sugar. It causes too much obsessive thinking within me, whereas now I am free from that.

"Stuff" Detachment
I cleaned out another cupboard and got rid of things that I haven't used EVER.

Spiritual Growth

I will continue with the Divine Mercy Novena. See Good Friday for a further explanation of this. I thought parts of the Jars of Clay song above went well with this novena.



SECOND DAY
"Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind."

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard - upon the souls of preists and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.
