Daily Prayer – Awaken My Soul

         Oh, My Jesus, please awaken within me a desire to love. Awaken my soul and activate your grace!  Nourish my soul with your Eucharist. Consume me as I consume you. Bind your flesh to mine, soul by soul and cell by cell, so that our hearts become one, ordered to charity for the glory of our good and gracious God. Help me little by little grow more like you, loving, forgiving, serving, and listening in charity and humility.  Open my eyes to see and open my ears to hear you in me, in every situation and in every person, I come in contact with this day.  Be with me Lord, be in me, be all around me and let your love be reflected through me. AMEN.

 John 6:51

I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.

 John 17:20-23

I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory which you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

 Psalms 103:1
Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name!

 Ephesians 5:14

 “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.”

 Psalms 95:8

O that today you would listen to his voice!  Harden not your hearts.

 2 Timothy 4:2

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths.
