Munda Cor Meum

Last week I had the glorious opportunity of hour-long visits with the Eucharistic Lord. On Monday, my priest support group met which included a Holy Hour. On Wednesday morning, parishioners gathered for the recitation of the Holy Rosary, silent meditation, and Benediction. I was surrounded by friends and parish family. Nice.

At Monday’s Adoration I received the following gift from the Lord:

I found myself standing at the edge of a sea with the water gently lapping against my feet. I looked out and what seemed to be a rising sun shedding its warmth on me. I understood that warmth to be not the creation, but the Creator. This warmth of His Presence moved across my body from left to right. The movement halted and settled upon my head, lips, and heart. I immediately thought of the Munda Cor Meum--

Munda cor meum ac labia mea, omnipotens Deus, qui labia Isaiae Prophetae calculo mundasti ignito: ita me tua grata miseratione dignare mundare, ut sanctum Evangelium tuum digne valeam nuntiare. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen. Jube, Domine benedicere. Dominus sit in corde meo et in labiis meis. ut digne et competenter annuntiem evangelium suum.

Cleanse my heart and my lips, O Almighty God, Who cleansed the lips of the Prophet Isaiah with a burning coal. In Your gracious mercy deign so to purify me that I may worthily proclaim Your holy Gospel. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Lord, grant me your blessing. The Lord be in my heart and on my lips that I may worthily and fittingly proclaim His holy Gospel.

… just another blessing! Thank you, Lord.
