*The Joys of divine advent. I come, Jesus says, to bring fire to the earth.*
“Open, O doors and bolts of my heart,
that Christ the King of Glory may enter!
Enter, O my Light, and enlighten my darkness;
enter, O my Life, and resurrect my deadness;
enter, O my Physician, and heal my wounds;
enter, O Divine Fire, and burn up the thorns of my sins;
ignite my inward parts and my heart with the flame of Thy love;
enter, O my King, and destroy in me the kingdom of sin;
sit on the throne of my heart and alone reign in me,
O Thou, my King and Lord.”
My Father… loves me, cares for me, forgives me, is compassionate, is giving, is understanding, is accepting, satisfies, persistently pursues me, is reason, pardons, heals, redeems, is loving-kindness, renews, is righteous, is gracious, is sovereign.
