Word for Thursday, August 18

“I will sprinkle clean water upon you to cleanse you from all your impurities, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. I will give you a new heart and place a new spirit within you, taking from your bodies your stony hearts and giving you natural hearts.” Ezekiel 36:25-26. St. Edith Stein said, “This is a serious warning cry: Surrender without reservation to the Lord who has called us.  This is required of us so that the face of the earth may be renewed.” Let us pray, Lord Jesus, You came to fix humanity; convince us to throw away our stagnation in rebellion and mischief; that we pursue the path of self-improvement into obedience and cleanliness. Lord be our daily carrier into a better life ever. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
