Moments before Dawn

by

In these precious moments before dawn
Prepare my waking body and soul
to serve You,
As You served our heavenly Father,
In Your Incarnation.

Dawning in the Virgin’s
Womb,
Hidden Divinity,
Secret, sacred, Savior,
Announced and served by Angels,
Alive in hallowed Love,
Glorifying Man in Your Mortal Garb,
You are hidden now in me.

Manifest Your glory,
In all humility,
As, yet again,
You dawn anew,
In this heart that longs for You.

What the world needs now is Truth

What the world needs now is Truth. Christians, you know Who, that is. Tell someone today! Your faith is contagious, exercise it, for the world is full of counterfeits and the world, the flesh and the devil are viguorously preaching relativism under the guise of tolerance and false compassion.They want a gag order on you. Remember the call and power of your Baptism.

“Stand fast therefore in these things and follow the example of the Lord, being firm in the faith and immovable, in love of the brotherhood kindly having affection for one to another, partners with the truth, forestalling one another in the gentleness of the Lord, despising no man.” St. Polycarp pf Smyrna (Today is his feast day.)

 

Fleeting Prayers – Arrows to the Heart

by

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.
