Meditations

Learning from the Master, Number One. Learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11, 29. O God, I am coming to sit at your feet to be taught and examined by you. You are present here, you are drawing me here by your grace. I am listening only to you. I believe only in you. Lord, I worship you. My heart loves only you. It longs for you alone. It is with joy that I bring myself low before you, O Eternal Majesty. I come to receive everything from your hand and to renounce myself without reservation. O God, send your Holy Spirit. Let your Spirit become mine and let my own mind and spirit be forever brought to nothing. I give myself over to that Spirit of love and truth. Let him illumine me today and teach me to be gentle and lowly in heart. O Jesus, you are the one who is teaching me this lesson in gentleness and lowliness. Anyone else who might want to teach it to me would only repel me. Everywhere I would see only imperfection and pride. So, you are the one who must teach me. Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.
