“As Lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus’ thirst…’Repent and believe’ Jesus tells us. What are we to repent? Our indifference, our hardness of heart. What are we to believe? Jesus thirsts even now, in your heart and in the poor — He knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you.” ~Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

Prayers have been answered and I have been brought closer to You. You have done so in the most direct way, a complete stripping of physical and spiritual joys. I ache from the pain that fills my entire being. I desire only to satiate Your thirst. I pray that my love is enough. I have nothing else to give. I beg You for Your grace and love as I try so desperately to remain steadfast at the foot of Your cross.
May the Blessed Mother dispose of me and this offering, all for Your glory.

Jesus, love me.
love me in my brokenness
love me in my disappointment
love me in my sorrow
love me in my weakness
love me in my pain
love me in my nothingness
love me in my misery
