 FEBRUARY 22 Meditating on Christ's Sufferings |
PRAYER. Help me, O Lord, to appreciate what You have done for me by the sufferings You endured for my sake. |
|
DEEP feeling is but the natural or necessary
attendant on a holy heart. But if we cannot
at our will thus feel, we can grow in grace
till we do.
We may meditate upon Christ's sufferings. By this meditation we shall gradually be brought to these deep feelings. We may pray God to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves, to make us feel; to give us the spirit of gratitude, repentance, and lively faith. |
