Pondering Pages

Thank you Lara at Holy Mothering for sponsoring Pondering Pages. This week I will take an excerpt from the second conference in the book I Believe in Love by Father Jean C.J. d'Elbee entitled Humble Confidence.
In the manner of the centurion, you must also say, "I am not worthy to recieve You; I merit nothing; I am an abyss of weakness and cowardice; I make resolutions and do not keep them; I fall over and over again. But Jesus, say only one word, and my soul shall be healed."
I love that line in the mass. Jesus I am not worthy to receive You but say the word and I shall be healed. Jesus' mercy never ceases to amaze me.
