The Book of Isaiah Chapter 6 V- 5 and 11

5 Then I said, “Woe is me, I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, holding an ember which he had taken with tongs from the altar.7 He touched my mouth with it. “See,” he said, “now that this has touched your lips, your wickedness is removed, your sin purged.” 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” “Here I am,” I said; “send me!” 9 And he replied: Go and say to this people: Listen carefully, but do not understand! Look intently, but do not perceive! 10 Make the heart of this people sluggish, dull their ears and close their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and their heart understand, and they turn and be healed. 11 “How long, O Lord?” I asked. And he replied: Until the cities are desolate, without inhabitants, Houses, without people, and the land is a desolate waste.

In Isaiah 6:5-11, we encounter a profound moment in the life of the prophet Isaiah, where he stands in the presence of God and is overwhelmed by the holiness and majesty of the Lord. Upon realizing his own sinfulness, Isaiah cries out, “Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.” This acknowledgment of sin sets the stage for a powerful transformation. One of the seraphim touches Isaiah’s lips with a burning coal, signifying purification and the grace of God that prepares him for the divine mission ahead.

The verses continue with God asking, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Isaiah responds, “Here am I! Send me.” This call to prophetic ministry comes with a heavy message: a warning of impending judgment for a people who would not listen. God instructs Isaiah to deliver a message that, paradoxically, would lead to the hardening of hearts.

These verses remind us of the prophetic tradition that foretold the coming of a Redeemer—Jesus Christ. The prophets, including Isaiah, painted a picture of hope amidst judgment, revealing that God’s ultimate plan was one of redemption. They pointed to a future where sin would be atoned for, and humanity would be restored to a right relationship with God.

As we reflect on these verses, let us remember the call of the prophets and the fulfillment found in Christ. If only we would believe in the promise of redemption that has been foretold! Through faith, we can embrace the transformative power of Jesus, who came to save us from our sins. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to pray:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for our niece Brittany. The Soul of my sister-in-law Carmen. Death Uncle Donald. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

Ephesians 6:17-20

02-09-2025 Isaiah 6 v0511

**Your Wickedness Removed Your Sin Purged**

In the temple high, where glory shone,

Isaiah stood, his heart alone,

“Woe is me!” his lips did cry,

For unclean hands, and a soul awry.

A seraph flew with coal in hand,

To cleanse the mouth, to make him stand,

“Your guilt is gone,” the angel spoke,

In fire’s embrace, the chains he broke.

“Whom shall I send?” the Lord did call,

With humble heart, he gave his all,

“Here am I!” the prophet said,

To share the truth, where angels tread.

Though hearts would harden, and eyes would close,

Isaiah's vision of hope arose,

For in the shadows, the light would gleam,

In Christ, our Savior, we find our dream. Amen.
