hath thirsted after the strong living God; when shall I come and appear before the face of God?" (Ps. xli. 2). "Thou art the God of my heart and the God that is my portion forever" (Ps. lxxii. 26).
ACT OF HUMILITY
O LORD of glory, O God of infinite sanctity, what am I that Thou shouldst deign to come to me! " The heavens are not pure in Thy sight," and wilt Thou dwell in my heart? "Lord! I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof." The consciousness of my unworthiness would prompt me to exclaim, Depart from me, O Lord, for I am a sinner," but Thy pressing invitation to approach Thy holy table encourages me and dispels all my fears. "Here I am, for Thou didst call me." Come, then, O Jesus, take possession of a heart that wishes to belong to Thee. Create a clean heart in me, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." "Have mercy on me, O God, and according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies, blot out my iniquity" (Ps. 1. 3).
"Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be healed."
