10/4/15 through 10/9/15

Sunday

Become one flesh as man and wife

A bond to last throughout your life

The flower opens to receive

The seed is planted to conceive.

A total giving from the two

With God becomes a life brand new

A sacred gift to one another

A precious soul that's like no other

Monday

Help me to listen and obey

And cease to follow my own way

For my way leads to troubled seas

But Your way leads to lasting peace.

Tuesday

St.  Bruno found in nothingness

The key that leads to happiness

In life devoid of things around

The fullness of our Lord is found.

Wednesday

Do I, like Jonah, care much more

For things that flower and fade

When I should have compassion for

Immortal souls God made?

Reluctant to proclaim the Word

To many sinners lost

I'd rather see God's wrath incurred

Than take the time it cost

To tell them all the story of 

Our God who came to earth

Enduring much in patient love

That we might have new birth.

Thursday AM

What father would give to his precious child

A dangerous gift, or one that defiled

The Father of all when put to the test

Will always be giving what He knows is best

Thursday PM

My progeny, to show the way

To follow Him throughout the day

To honor Him in what they say

And never from His leading stray

I make a meager, paltry guide

To lead such treasure to Your side

To You my weakness I confide

And You are with me every stride.

Though many are the traps and snares

Temptations and the daily cares

I keep them in my daily prayers

That life with You is someday theirs

Friday

I  wish Lord to this day repent

Of all my sinful ways

Of selfishness and time misspent

Throughout my many days

Saturday

Oh happy womb that bore You

What blessed breast You nursed

Creation all adores You

The last as well as first.
