Gratitude

The most important prayer in the world is just two words long:
"Thank you".

(Meister Eckhart)

On the death of the Beloved

sky Though we need to weep your loss,
You dwell in that safe place in our hearts,
Where no storm or might or pain can reach you.

Your love was like the dawn
Brightening over our lives
Awakening beneath the dark
A further adventure of colour.

The sound of your voice
Found for us
A new music
That brightened everything.

Whatever you enfolded in your gaze
Quickened in the joy of its being;

Our haven and our hope

red-flowersYou are love,
You are wisdom.
You are humility,
You are endurance.
You are rest,
You are peace.
You are joy and gladness.
You are justice and moderation.
You are all our riches,
And you suffice for us.

You are beauty.
You are gentleness.
You are our protector,
You are our guardian and defender.
You are our  courage.
You are our haven and our hope.

You are our faith,
Our great consolation.
You are our eternal life,
Great and wonderful Lord,

God almighty,
Merciful Saviour.

(St. Francis, Praises of God)

Patron Saint Genevieve 3 January

church

Loving Saint Genevieve, fair patron Saint of Paris, lead us in your path of courage and valor.
May we fearlessly defend what is right and true, may we turn not away from the fear and anguish of others, but stand beside them as you did, and by your holy example help us to find eternal life among the warrior princes of the archangels, and all who serve God and this truth without reservation.

(G. Albert)

People are often illogical, unreasonable and self-centered

People are often illogical, unreasonable and self-centred. Forgive them anyway.
If your are kind. People may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway.
What you spend years building. Someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway.
The good you do today people will forget tomorrow. Be good anyway.
Give the world the best you've got, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see in the final analysis it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.

(Mother Teresa)

Prayer of faith

signsMy Lord God,

I have no idea where I am going
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.


Nor do I really know myself,
And the fact that I think I am following
your will does not mean that I am
actually doing so.
