Disciple: Commandments Keepers

Forsake the Flesh

To walk through this life:

With eyes that could not see the beauty of my neighbor;
With a tongue that could not taste the pleasures of my food;
With nostrils that could not smell the sweet aroma of my feast;
With lips that could not feel the warm kisses of my lover;
With a mouth that could not speak the words of my pride;
With ears that could not hear the flatteries of my friends.

Then would my senses be onto life eternal and I would:

See the stature of the heart;
Taste the hunger of the poor;
Smell the stench of the wicked;
Feel the pain of the suffering;
Speak the wisdom of the Word;
Hear the cries of the oppressed.

Our Holy Father and Lord Jesus Christ, please help your disciples to walk by the wisdom of your Holy Spirit and to forsake the flesh, that we would bring forth fruit unto God our Father. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Amen.
