Sainte Therese

I cannot receive Thee in Holy Communion as often as I should wish ; but, O Lord, art not Thou all powerful? Abide in me as Thou dost in the Tabernacle—never abandon Thy Little Victim.

-Saint Therese of the Child Jesus

St Anselm and me

"I adore and venerate you as much as ever I can, though my love is so cold, my devotion so poor. "

- St. Anselm (Archbishop and Doctor of the Church)

A Fistful of Sand

I am but a grain of sand.
How can I be part of You?
You hold me, that one grain of sand,
in Your palm,
and take me to our Father.
Yet if a grain of sand could weep, I weep bitterly -
look how small I am
- I am one tiny grain of sand
useless, passive, lifeless,
blown with the wind,
and carried away by rain -
Why do you hold me in Your palm?

Without each grain, there is no sand.

Resting in Your palm, I am a grain of diamond.
Your palm is the beach that holds us together,
Your palm is the landform, dune, sea bed, shore and coast;
and tiny diamond grains of sands are we.

Full moon

The moon is shining as bright as ever,
it sings loud and gloriously to You.
The sheer curtains move with the breeze,
dancing for You.
You are everywhere.
I'm so fearful - keep holding me.

Do it for me

I can't pray - how could I ever have thought I could?
All I can do is ask You to do it for me..
please Christ, I beg You, do it for me.

Maria

'A Life for a Life'

But oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away. ~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859

Shhhh....

I long for silence now.
I apologize for my noise. Been singing this to You all week..

Lonely rivers flow to the Sea, to the Sea
to the open arms of the Sea
lonely rivers sigh 'wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me.

Oh my Love my darling, I hunger for your touch,
a long lonely time,
and time goes by so slowly
''-and time can do so much,
are you still MINE??''
'I need Your Love, I need Your Love
God speed Your Love to me'

(Unchained Melody)

'am I still Yours??' ma nafx :(
