The new scales have been properly installed. . .blessed, sprinkled, incensed, and decorated with flowers.
Stepping up and waiting the appropriate amount of time, I read: 320lbs. Good enough.

___________________A Prayer Before Weighing Oneself (Ponderis me, Domine!)
Weigh me, O Lord;
in your kindness,
burn away my excessive fat;
blot out all my cellulite,
and bring me to my perfect waist size.
Amen.
in your kindness,
burn away my excessive fat;
blot out all my cellulite,
and bring me to my perfect waist size.
Amen.

Is there a certain prayer for priests stepping on a scale, like the vesting prayers?

ReplyDeleteGreat prayer. I'm taping it on the bathroom mirror above Eustachius (my scale). So you see, I'm fightin' the fight right along with you!
