6/28/15 Through 7/4/15

Sunday

Attempts to fill our emptiness

Are made in vain and more distress

We work to fill the hole inside

But find we're never satisfied.

For even if the Lord we try

To touch his garments passing by

It' not enough to meet with him

Our souls were meant to BE in him.

Monday

This day I set before the Lord

My sacrifice of praise

That I may feed upon his word

And love him all my days.

Tuesday

It's time to tame that awful beast

Who makes the flesh cry out

To rid myself of greedy yeast

And cast the glutton out.

I must rely on higher power

To cleanse me of this guile

Unfailing in my weakest hour

With strength to bear the trial

Wednesday

What should I say when I haven't a clue

Of what You are saying or what I should do?

Be patient and listen, take time to relax

The words you are given are much more than scraps

First taste, and then chew, consuming the whole.

Let them give you courage and nourish your soul

My body true bread and my blood is true drink.

You're given the grace to proclaim, and not shrink.

Thursday

Baptized in God's family

I'm called to be all I can be.

To follow him through anything

To share God's love in everything

Friday

My Lord and God did Thomas speak

No longer strong, he joined the weak

The weak who trust their sovereign Lord

The weak who drink his love out poured.

Saturday

This day of independence

From tyranny and strife

Our fathers sought transcendence 

From ordinary life

In freedom for the masses

To worship and believe

This liberty surpasses

What all hoped to achieve.

For freedom places on each soul

A duty to be true

To choose the best thing for the whole

Not just what's best for you.
