Sacred Heart Day 9
Lord, help us to circumcise our hearts and renounce our sins
Jer 4:4 Circumcise yourselves for Yahweh, apply circumcision to your hearts, men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, or my wrath will leap out like a fire and burn with no one to quench it, in return for the wickedness of your deeds.”The Lord is asking us to circumcise our hearts, which are filled with all kinds of malice and evil. If we do not repent of our sins, God will unleash vengeance and destroy us. The Lord is exceedingly worried about our wickedness and unclean activities. Our hearts should break deeply, preparing them to embrace our Lord. One thing is certain: the Lord is asking us to repent, and He will accept us back. We must abandon all worldly pleasures and transgressions that offend God. Sirach 17:24 -26 (NJB): But to those who repent he allows return, and he encourages those who have lost hope. Return to the Lord and renounce your sins, plead before his face, stop offending him. 26 Come back to the Most High, turn away from iniquity and hold all that is foul in abhorrence. The Lord is urging us to repent and return to him. Let us, with a penitent heart, beg our Lord for the forgiveness of sins.
