Altar Sunday

I approach the altar today, asking You, to empty me of me.

Empty me of selfishness, vain ambition, and the poison of my pride.

Empty me of any foolish thing my heart holds onto.

Empty me so I can be filled with more of You.

I will not move until the Holy Fire has burned away all that is not of You.

Empty me, so I can be like You.

Here on the altar empty me of all the disease.

Let me stay Father for You are all I need.

Here on the altar, I will leave it, all of me, in order to take all of You.

Jesus only You can empty me of me. So I am asking, here on my knees, empty me of me.
