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.
