My Sinful Self

Why does my body love the things you hate? Why does my Spirit crave for you yet flesh repulses you? Why does my mind crave for the things of this world but my heart yearns for you alone, sweet Jesus? Why can´t you be my one and only true love? Why does my days of fasting turn into hours of piggishness? Why does my quest to find love turn into a time of lust? Why should my quest to have fun get me unduly obsessed to drugs and alcohol?

Wash me through and through, Jesus. Let´s start with my mind, clean it wholly. Leave no portions of dirt thither and take a seat hear. Now, let´s move to my heart since that´s where the issues of life arise from. Gently filter out all the dirt. Managing the chaff in me without hating me, is your specialty. You have promised to lighten all the burdens of my heart and this includes a lot of filth. So gradually take them all out. Let my heart be filled with you and you alone.

Now let´s get to my flesh; the part that leads me to sin. So, with my permission I say, crucify it and hide in your tomb. I want to live for you and you alone. I want nothing to do with lust. Neither do I want anything to do with greed. In your sacred tomb, the demons in my flesh cannot last for a second. It´s only in your sacred tomb my heart can live to the fullest. Wash me with your Holy Blood Jesus and when you are done cleansing me, I know with all certainty that I will shine and manifest your beautiful personality.
