Thoughts from My Mass/Prayer Journal

"I AM WHO AM"

Exodus 3:14

A thought from my Mass/Prayer Journal. 

I use this journal each time I attend the 

Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  

I date my entry, usually.

(I just realized I didn't date this one!)

I also make a note of the name of the priest who is saying Mass.

I have found that when I have a question about something said in the homily,

the priests are very happy to clarify my thoughts.

Sometimes thoughts float into my soul before Mass, most times, not.

If they do, I write them down.

This is what I wrote down on either

2/14 or 2/15.

I sit in the Presence of the Lord, my God,

as the ancients to whom was revealed the

One God,

the Creator,

the 

I AM WHO AM.

I throw myself on God's Mercy.

I seek to be consumed by the

Fire of His Love.

I seek to burn like the 

burning bush

that could not be consumed by the fire.

I seek pardon and mercy,

Oh, Lord, I am in trouble.

Help me, Oh, God.

Destroy my will to sin.

I am far away from You

adrift at sea.

Help me, Lord, My God.

.

I added in the next section of my journal:

When God touches your life, you cannot ever be the same.

It's impossible. 

At this point, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass began.

Oh, Lord, I am not worthy!

Amen.

Do you keep a prayer or Mass journal?

Does it help you to grow?

What is the most profound moment you have experienced and recorded in your journal?
