12/6/15 Through 12/12/15

12/6/15 through 12/12/15

Sunday

Every path that leads to Him

Will cross the desert sand

It's there we learn to trust in Him

Like in the promised land.

Monday

A stretcher lowered through the tiles

By faith, the trip was worth the miles.

Hearing words of mercy spoken

Chains of sin are finally broken.

Tuesday

Mary pure and spotless mother

Purest member of our race

Sinless virgin, like no other

Filled with beauty, charm, and grace.

Wednesday

Holy virgin, full of grace,

Let your presence fill this place.

Pure and spotless, favored one

Who bore within, God's only son.

Conceived without the stain of sin

The font of grace you held within

A ready fiat on your lips

A zeal for souls none can eclipse.

The prophets feared to see His face

Or enter in that holy place.

For if they looked upon the  light

Their death would come by holy fright.

If they, but dared, to touch the Ark

The wrath of God, on them would spark.

For oxen stumbled, Uzzah tried,

To steady things, but then he died.

But not for you, oh Privileged One,

Upon your breast, you fed God's Son.

For nine full months, oh Full of Grace,

He made of you His dwelling place.

Without concupiscence they say

It sure did palliate your way.

But, au contraire, is my belief

The serpent gave you no relief.

The one who knows the devil's strength

Is one who fights to any length.

You watched and waited while He bled

And there you crushed the serpent's head.

How many times you thought it plain

But then, His will was not the same,

Yet every time you'd acquiesce

And utter once again that yes.

Thursday

The worm cannot conceive a plan.

The maggot cannot think or stand.

When I am he that makes the plan

Then I AM does not grasp the hand.

Friday

The Lord He teaches what is good

He leads us to the Way

We'd have it all if we but would

Just listen, and obey.

Saturday

 (To the Tune of Come O long Expected Jesus)

Virgin of the Tilma save us

Make our land be truly free

Save us from the sin that harms us 

Lead us to thy Son through thee.

Open eyes entrapped in darkness

Shine the light that they may see.

Rescue those in evil's harness

Grant the gift of faith through thee.
