Trusting in Thy goodness and great mercy, O Lord, I draw near.

Excerpt

Trusting in Thy goodness and great mercy, O Lord, I draw near, the sick to the Healer, the hungering and thirsting to the Fountain of life, the poverty-stricken to the King of heaven, the servant to the Lord, the creature to the Creator, the desolate to my own gentle Comforter.

✨ To meditate on today

According to The Imitation of Christ, we can come to God just as we are, sick, hungry, poor or sad, and it is precisely so that He welcomes us with tenderness. Today, at each moment of tiredness or need, simply name what you are going through and say: “I come to You, Lord, just as I am.”
