All the readings for the day and the hymns are so beautiful - today is one of those days when everything seems beautiful right from the beginning - first the Lauds and then Holy Mass.🤗
Today I heard that entrance hymn for which my ears were longing - "I wandered far away from God" and the communion hymn "Come back to me" - that made the Holy Mass extra beautiful.
And the readings - a few verses from each reading managed to touch my heart from the time I read them last night. I would like to write them down:
The first reading from Daniel 3:
.......for there will be no shame for those who trust in you.
Psalm 25 (image attached)
Acclamation:
Even now, declares the Lord, return to me with all your heart, for I am gracious and merciful.
So with this conviction, I carry on my Lenten journey with renewed fervour!👏
According to today's Facebook memories, in 2019 I wrote about the transforming Eucharist of my life. I have written the following on Facebook:
"If I am not wrong, it was this hymn (amazing grace) during 2011 Ash Wednesday (9th March) that brought repentance in my life! I remember correctly that after attending the Mass and hearing this hymn, I decided to do some acts of penance that Lent. I decided to forgo certain things like my coffee, lunch and Facebook!
That Mass brought transformation in me! Since that day, I try to be as attentive as I can be for all the Masses!"
Thus 9 March has yet another memory attached to it.
