• Oratio Divina: An Offering

  Jesus I know not
  to where you lead me
  but my life is forever
  tethered to you
  from before my birth
  until after this body is burried
  where you go I will follow
  even if to the altar
  even if to the cross
  my life a gift
  an offering
  of self-sacrificial love
  from
  to
  for
  you
  ~Robert Van Valkenburgh

  Reflection:
  Where might Christ be inviting you to trust His leading more fully, even when the path is uncertain or costly?

  Scripture:
  “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.’” — Matthew 16:24
