Never Permit Me To Offend You Again

One of my favorite saints since I was in high school has been St. Alphonsus Liguori.  The first thing that attracted me to him was this prayer.

"Lord I am sorry for ever having offended me.  Never permit me to offend you again.  Grant that I may love always and do with me what you will"

During this Lenten season I challenge to spend much time in praying this or as St. Louis De Monfort said "Nail my heart to the Cross so that it may never leave you."

It is difficult to pray that all control of your life would be taken from you.  But that control is the only thing that gets in the way from an awesome relationship with God.  Begin praying for the discipline to let go of things that get in the way.  Especially if you are not a person committed to daily prayer.  Ask the Lord to reveal those things to you that you need to let go of in order to be able to make prayer a priority in your life.
