40 Things I'm Thankful For

Day 36
Forgiveness

"My dying Jesus, I devoutly kiss the cross on which you would die for love of me.  I deserve, because of my sins, to die a terrible death; but your death is my hope.  By the merits of your death, give  me the grace to die embracing your feet and burning with love of you.  I yield my soul into your hands.  I love you with my whole heart.  I am sorry that I have offended you.  Never let me offend you again.  Grant that I may love you always; and then do with me as you will."  -Stations of the Cross, Jesus dies upon the cross

Thank God for His death on the cross for us.  Thank God for Confession.  And thank God that even if you've slacked on your prayer and sacrifice this Lent (as the priest reminded me in confession yesterday) it's the now the Triduum, perfect time to draw near to Jesus in His passion and death.
