8/9/15 Through 8/15/15

8/9/15 through 8/15/15

Sunday

Strength for the journey

Bond with the Lord

Bread of compassion 

Life giving Word

Lord give me hunger

Lord give me thirst

For what is holy

Placing You first

For in Your Passion

Is my redemption

Life without ending

In resurrection!

Monday

The giver of the gifts should know

Just what we need to bloom and grow

He spoke the word and made it all

His grace is plenty for us all.

Tuesday

The memory of a child's embrace

Is slow to fade away

The innocence upon their face

The loving words they say.

This pure and simple, spotless love

Is how our lives should be

Reliance on our God above

Should be our path, you see.

Wednesday

A glow of light beyond the door

A thirsting soul desires more

A knock to say:  "May I come in?"

The pathway choked by years of sin.

Thursday

Oh Jesus, in this bread so fine

Great comfort, and great strength of mine,

Cleanse me Lord from all my sin

Grant that I, Your favor win.

Friday

His body offered up for her

Her will subordinate to his

Such love will demonstrate for sure

What marriage made in heaven is.

Saturday

The Ark of God, that holy place,

The lowly Virgin, Full of Grace,

The humble and obedient one,

Now reigns in splendor with her Son.
