My Lord and my God Jesus,



USE ME TODAY O LORD
By -james kottoor

My Lord and my God Jesus,

you who made your triumphal entry

in to Jerusalem on the back of an ASS,

Deign to use me today as that ASS

which carries you into the limelight

of today’s modern world

Deign O Lord to use me today

as your watch dog to keep at bay wolves

around and thieves on prowl

on horizon for your flock.


Deign O Lord to use me today

as a loud speaker that gives wings to

your word and teachings for the benefit

of those living around me.


Deign O Lord to use me today

as a torch that illumines every dark spot

in me and around me with your

light and your light alone.


Deign O Lord to use me today

as a mirror that reflects your inspiring face

and divine personality to everyone

who looks upon me.


Deign O Lord to turn me today

into a flower bed that exudes your divine

fragrance alone for every

passer-by to breathe in.


Deign O Lord to turn me today

into a tree producing fruits of your Holy

Spirit to nourish those who come

to sit and rest in my shade.


Lastly, my Lord Jesus,

Deign to use me today as a BROOM,

but a BROOM held in your holy hands, your

powerful hands, your hands that shower forth

graces and blessings alone

in order to sweep clean all the nooks and

corners of my today’s ways

according to your holy will. Amen.
