Empty Me

 

I went to Adoration this past week and heard this song. 

I really liked the lyrics. 

Empty Me by Jeremy Camp 

Holy Fire, burn away

My desire, for anything

That is not of You

And is of me

I want more of You

And less of me

Empty me

Let us bring to the Father our empty hands and hearts. 

"In the evening of this life I shall appear before you with empty hands. It is just this - to find myself at my death with empty hands - that gives me joy, for having nothing I shall receive everything from God."

 St. Therese

Take heart and joy in your emptiness. 

It will be worth everything! 

Less of me and more of God. 

More time to pray! 

Prayer is a gift that we are given to share.  

"We must empty Purgatory with our prayers." St. Padre Pio 

Prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory by St. Gertrude 

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family.

Amen.
