My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

I ask your pardon for my sins.

And the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful, my immaculate Mother St. Joseph, my Father

and Lord, my guardian angel, and deceit for us.

With your permission, Jesus Christ, truly present with us in the Blessed Sacrament.

Though I have been more or less hearing confessions, I could tell that the predominant theme is this phrase of Jesus

that actually condenses the entire gospel, the entire gospel message in a certain sense of the entire Bible.

Love as I have loved.

Very simple, but extremely profound.

And I'll go so far to say a command that is impossible.

And why did he issue the command if it's impossible?

Because we could approach it.

Maybe my standards are too low, but my gut tells me that all the admonitions of Jesus, all the teachings to live by them totally

in this life is impossible.

But we can get closer to doing it.

I mean, it's, we could approach it because only Jesus Christ is perfect God and perfect man, but nevertheless

we are called to be like him. St. Paul's mantra is put on Jesus Christ, put them on.

And how do we put you on, Lord?

We'd have to reinvent the wheel. We're putting them on right now. Some are in deep, pious dazes, but you're here, he knows it. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is exhausted.

And we're putting them on through prayer.

And what does prayer do?
