TO YOU I SURRENDER (My Lord and my God)

-


My Lord and my God.
My God and my All.
My Lord, my Life and my Love,

I adore you profoundly.

O Lord, it is You who are my Portion and Cup.
My happiness lies in You alone.

 What else have I in heaven but You?
Apart from You I want nothing on earth!

To You I surrender, give and offer
My whole self for the Mercy of Your plan.
Let it be done to me according to Your Word,
that all may be saved and
Come to the knowledge of the Truth.

Heal me Lord and I shall be healed
Save me and I shall be saved
For You are my praise.

Heal me with the medicine of repentance 
Guard me as the apple of Your eye
Hide me in the shadow of Your wings.

Glory to You Father Almighty,
Glory to You Jesus Christ my Lord,
Glory to You Holy Spirit dwelling in my heart, 
Now and forever. Amen!

My Name

  My name Is not a word To be pronounced More a sound Emanating From God Most High Like the silence Of interstellar space The calm deep of ocean Washing the shore The quiet falling Of an Autumn leaf And then again The roaring of wind Waves crashing on rocks Groaning of the elements A pristine primordial cry And the laughter of delighted children My name is a mystery And I have heard God call it In the unfathomable  Sacrament of the Altar  And in those hidden places Where only He has ventured

WEAKNESSES (My Special Boast)

  "I shall make my weaknesses my special boast” (2 Corinthians 12:9) There's a struggle going on in me, the tiredness that comes with the end of the year, the tiredness I see in teachers and pupils as they come to the conclusion of their academic year. A tiredness and an excited anticipation of endings and freedom. I'm a bit unsteady in myself when I enter the church for the first Sunday morning Mass. I have the pleasure of my sister's company this weekend, but in normal times the first word I speak in the day is spoken when I come for Mass which is preceded by three hours of silence. Silent breakfast, silent prayer, silent preparation. I love that silence and I love the first word that is spoken in the day. The connection with the people of the parish. This particular Sunday morning a young Mum places her new-born baby in my arms. The effect on me is instant. Holding this child close to my chest, all unsteadiness is steadied, all turbulence calmed by a peace that ta...
