1/3/16 Through 1/9/16

1/3/16 Through 1/9/16

Sunday

I don't know why He blessed me so

Perhaps one day I'll come to know

I just recall one fateful night,

I finally knew this girl was right

I took the plunge and made the call

And offered that I give her all

Then she agreed, to my delight

And sweet my dreams were all that night.

I didn't know back on that day

How strong the words we had to say

Much more than just a platitude

They grew into an attitude

Of giving all we have to give

And learning how we ought to live

By answering His holy call

And offering, to Him, our all.

Monday

Niby asks for just one thing 

A holy priest to be

With all devoted to the King

His will to clearly see.

One Hail Mary everyday

To help his whole life long

He humbly asks the flock to pray

To keep him standing strong

Tuesday

Everyday with holy bread

A multitude of souls are fed

The charge for those who do partake

To show the world what grace can make.

A heart of generosity

Devoid of animosity

A humble willing servant who,

Says do with me what You would do.

Wednesday

We all know well just what we need

To learn to love and love indeed

It beckons everyday to find

A way to love and be more kind.

But why then, do we always fear

Preventing Him from drawing near?

Because we look upon the cross

And see He counted all as loss

Oh, bring me to that awful place

And make me look upon His face

That speaks of what true love provides

A soul with all else crucified.

Thursday AM

This day the scripture is fulfilled

The dawn on high arrived

A love for all in us instilled

His plan for us revived.

Thursday PM

What should I give, Lord, back to Thee

But only what You've given me

Each talent is a precious gift

For me to bless Your family with.

Say not I am the weakest one.

Say not, that I am much too young

For I have chosen you to be

My instrument to captives free.

Belittle not, My gifts to you

I've given them for you to do

My work on earth as instruments

Becoming living sacraments.

A sign to show My love for all

To help your neighbor hear My call

Through service, help them find their way

And hear My voice, in what you say.

For to everyone I grant

Ability for seed to plant

And then enjoy in love sublime

A feast with Me at harvest time.

Friday

If You wish Lord, make me clean

And let Your love, in me, be seen

For You my ask is not too much

Just heal me with your simple touch.

Saturday

In everyone, Lord, let me see

The presence of the King

And like the holy wise men three

Give them an offering.
