Fleeting Prayers – Arrows to the Heart

Fleeting prayers,
Known but to God
Recorded on His Heart,
Nothing wasted.

All to flower, and bear fruit.
Supplying for the need
Of His People, His Bride, His Church,
Reaching throughout Time,

Nothing wasted,
Nothing forgotten,
All in flower,
all bearing fruit.

Fleeting prayers,
Known but to God,
Nothing forgotten,
Arrows to His Heart.

A Little Trailer Music

 

Oh, happy day. I have been roughing it in our trailer for the past month and without much of my accustomed sustenance. I just found Scott Hahn on my tiny radio headset. Great way to start a day. Scott Hahn speaking about the Lamb of God, the Passover, the New Covenant, the unleavened bread of the Eucharist. Jesus made it possible to consume the His Body and drink His Blood.

If you haven’t heard Scott, you’re missing out.
Beautiful and clear exegesis. You can find him on Lighthouse Catholic Media.

One Holy Night

Adoration of the Child

One Holy Night

Holy Infant of the stable
You shattered my darkness
In one Holy Night.

Though, tyrants and terrors
Threaten and pursue
Peace shines forth in Your angelic Light.

I, too, shiver in the cold,
As enemies draw near,
Simply trusting, in my plight.

Taking heart that angels ring me ’round.
Trusting that You will be ever near,
Hallowed, Holy, God of Might.

Two Images, One Lamb

Two Images, One Lamb

Agnus Dei,
Lamb of God,
Meek, perfect, humble,
Oblation, acceptable and sacrificial.

Arnion,
The Lamb, standing, as if slain,
Conquering , and at Sabbath Rest,
Resurrected!
