Word for Monday March 11.

“Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind . . . I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and be glad in my people; no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping or the cry of distress . . . They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.” Isaiah 65:17, 19, 21. Pope Francis said, “The confessional is not a torture chamber, but the place in which the Lord’s mercy motivates us to do better.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus, You delight and dwell in clean soul, the new Jerusalem. Lord, bring us to repent all our sins and always find grace in You and be filled with Your delight. May we always receive the sweetness of Your presence with us. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
