5/8/16 Through 5/14/16
Sunday
When on the cross His life was spent
Within the temple veil was rent
His flesh was met with brutal scorn
The curtain of His Father torn
Each wound a window there to view
The love of God for each of you
What pride and sinfulness concealed
Humility and love revealed
Monday
Light of the Spirit light my way
Be as my guide throughout the day
Strengthen, embolden, my heart today
Bless with Your love every word I say.
Tuesday
The time has come to be your own
To sprout and grow, you seeds I've sown
Become what God meant you to be
A fruitful branch upon the tree
Wednesday
The Truth He came here to proclaim
He gave us power in His name
To take Good News to all the land
And let the Savior's love expand
Thursday
Like the child at peaceful rest
We find great comfort at her breast
There we stop to drink our fill
And learn to love the Father's will
Friday
Sandwiched
here upon the earth
Between the
dark and light,
Repentance
now can bring new birth
Complacence,
endless night
The damned
will be forever bound
In terror
and in flame
For never on
their lips was found
A blessing
for His name
The torment
of eternity
In selfish
greed and lust
In darkness,
nowhere left to flee
And no one
there to trust
But while on
earth we have the time
Our final
home to choose
Eternity in
love sublime
Or
everything to lose
Are you
willing to forsake
The pleasures
of the day
Then kneel
before the Lord and take
Your rosary
up to pray
The glory
that awaits this soul
No mortal
comprehends
Such light
and love forever full
And joy that never ends.
Saturday
Oh let me follow Your command
And bear the greatest fruit
Teach me to love as You demand
To gain my heart's pursuit
