Lord Jesus, we come just as we are; this is how we came at first, and this is how we come still, with all our failures, with all our transgressions, with all and everything that is what it ought not to be, we come to Thee.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
After many years of great mercy, after tasting of the powers of the world to come, we still are so weak, so foolish; but, oh! when we get away from self to God, there all is truth and purity and holiness, and our heart finds peace, wisdom, completeness, delight, joy, victory.
It came from God, and so is Christ true, and Christ is thy God, who is in heaven and awaits thee.
Our Holy Father says every one of us is in need of conversion, beginning with ourselves. We are all in need of the grace of Jesus Christ to receive the Gospel.
To receive all of the promised blessings, we must accept the gospel in faith and in full. However, this certain faith does not usually come all at once. We learn spiritually line upon line and precept upon precept.
Each one of us has a particular virtue and faults that make the process of becoming like Jesus different.
I come now to tell you for what I am brought here to die, and to give you an account of my faith, which I shall do as in the sight of the living God before whom I am shortly to stand.
Rest assured: Before God, the righteousness of Christ is all we need; before God, the righteousness of Christ is all we have.
We came equals into this world, and equals shall we go out of it.
Our Redeemer took upon Himself all the sins, pains, infirmities, and sicknesses of all who have ever lived and will ever live.
God never gives us more than we can handle. Everything that comes our way is coming our way so that we can grow and evolve.
