Deut 4:1-2.6-8/Psalm 15/ James 1:17-18.21-22.27/Mark
7:1-8.14-15.21-23
Sometimes Lord, I must confess that I take your word
for granted and rush through it as though it weren’t important or that I know
it already.
I confess also that I don’t obey your word as I
should and seem to go about my merry way disregarding your word and yet calling
myself your own.
And even worse Lord, I look at externals-the goings
and comings and forget about the internal-the heart where everything is.
I clean the externals and forget to take care of the
internal and yet complacently think you must be lucky to have me forgetting
that I’m full of many things you despise.
King of my heart, the mirror of your word has shown
me my true state, cleanse me and purify me that I may listen, hear and observe
every one of your commands.
