                  DIVINE WHISPER

                             with

FR. PIUSRALPH EFFIONG, SMMM

MONDAY OF THE SECOND WEEK OF LENT

“We have sinned and done wrong.”

We in this ONE, BIG and HAPPY FAMILY - The ARCHIVE welcome you to this great month of restoration. A month where we will march into Divine glory.

May these desires be granted through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Beloved in Christ, we are at it again today, Monday in the Second Week of Lent. Where  Prophet Daniel exhorts us to acknowledge our frailty and sinfulness saying:

"O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and merciful love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and ordinances;... (Daniel 9:4ff.)

This public profession of our iniquities is a sincere step towards true definition of this solemn season of repentance and reconciliation. As Psalm 51 will remind us of God's readiness to reconcile us back to Himself, let us not loose sight of this great opportunity; for our sins are before us day and night. 

Finally, dearest in the Lord, let us join the psalmist to plead with God's for mercy upon us.

"O! Lord, do not treat us according to our sins" (cf. Psalm 103:10a)

May His grace be sufficient to us. Peace be with you!

FADA PIUSRALPH prays for you!

Let us pray

O God, who have taught us to chasten our bodies for the healing of our souls, enable us, we pray, to abstain from all sins, and strengthen our hearts to carry out your loving commands. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
