It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.”<br /><br /> “Lord, increase my faith in you! Remind me of the futility of sin - of those sleepless nights, painful fights and tasteless bites. May I never forget how my anger, revenge and resentment towards my unsuspecting friend can cause self-inflicted wounds on my body and soul.”<br /> “Oh Lord, only through your grace, your amazing grace, could I possibly stand up to the test and allow nothing and no one to separate me from your love. Yes Lord, only by your grace, could I stand up to the test and declare myself a sinner! Oh Lord, only through your grace, could I possibly be honest with myself, look at myself and say to myself: “Who do you think you are?” <br />Fr Alfonse<br /><br />Thank you Fr Alfonse for these beautiful words to our Father. I pray this beautiful prayer often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-65582198386434822062010-11-06T09:58:23.246-05:002010-11-06T09:58:23.246-05:00Thank you Fr.
