Lenten Post Day 35

Tuesday, March 15
Jeremiah 25:8-17, Romans 10:1-13, John 9:18-41
Q. 82. Is any man able perfectly to keep the commandments of God?
A. No mere man, since the Fall, is able, in this life, perfectly to keep the commandments of God, but doth daily break them, in thought, word, and deed.
Prayer: Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long. (Psalm 25:4-5)
Reflection: We are sinners and know nothing but sin. Our salvation comes from the grace of God. The path to that salvation is through His son Jesus.
