GOD KNOWS MY NAME

GOD KNOWS MY NAME

 textes liturgiques

The Lord called me from birth, from my mother’s womb he gave me my name.  He made me a sharp-edged sword and concealed me in the shadow of his arm.  He made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me.  Isa. 49:1

MY TEACHER

My teacher is meek, humble and lowly at heart.

He said I should take his yoke;

For he is meek, gentle, lowly at heart.

He said that he is the vine and that I am the branches.

He said I should do unto others as I would have them unto me.

He said I should forgive seventy times seventy.

He said I should trust him, believe in him and have faith in him.

He said the greatest command is to love my fellow being

My teacher says that He is the way, the Truth and Life.

He is Jesus Christ my LORD.

 here I am Lord

 

Today is the Memorial of John the Baptist Christ fore runner.

God our Father, you called John the Baptist to be the herald of your Son’s birth and death.  As he gave his life in witness to truth and justice, so may we strive to profess our faith in your gospel.  Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

ALONE

ALONE

Am I really alone? This is a question I often ask myself.

I prefer my quietness to think about you and meditate on your wonders.

I can be in deep thought, while I think it is like conversing with a being.

I ask questions in my heart and I get different answers.

When I am not too sure of the response, I keep pondering

about different answers and ideas.

In the course of this I ask you to direct me.

God am I really alone?

No for I know that the questions I ask most times,

No one can give me the right answer except you.

This is when I sit all by myself,

with your presence ever near.

I am never alone, that is why you are ever near to

lead, direct, guide and guard me LORD.

Psaume 86

LORD HOW MANY ARE YOUR WONDERS

LORD HOW MANY ARE YOUR WONDERS

Lord open my spiritual eyes that I may ponder your greatness.

Psalm 103

They are happy

Lord God, how great you are, clothed in majesty and glory,

wrapped in light as in a robe! You stretch out the heavens like a tent.

Above the rains you build you dwelling.  You make the clouds

your chariot, you walk on the wings of the wind, you make the winds

your messengers and flashing fire your servants.

How many are your works, O Lord! In wisdom you have made them all.

The earth is full of your riches.  There is the sea, vast and wide, with

its moving swarms pas counting, living things great and small.

They all look to you to give them their food in due season.

You give it, they gather it up; you open your hand, they have their fill.

You take back your spirit, they die, returning to the dust from which

they came. You send forth your spirit, they are created; and you

renew the face of the earth.

QUEENSHIP OF MARY

Come Let us worship Christ who crowned his mother as Queen of heaven and earth.

Blessed are you, Virgin Mary, because you believed that the Lord's words to you would be fulfilled, now you reign with Christ for ever.

I rejoice heartily in the Lord, in my God is the joy of my soul; for he has clothed me with a robe of salvation, and wrapped me in a mantle of justice, like a bridegroom adorned with a diadem, like a bride bedecked with her jewels.
