Just One Glance

Although, I have been resting
In Your Most Sacred Heart,
Safe in Your holy embrace
Throughout this night,
You has been waiting for this moment,
When my eyes open,
Hoping I would look at You,
And return Your loving glance.

Gift of Love

Take a moment from your busy day to say the Lord’s Prayer for your loved ones in purgatory. It will also warm our Lord’s heart.

Lifted Up, I Am Drawn

Lifted up,
You hang above the world.
Your outstretched arms
Measure the breath of Your Love.

How great the distance between us,
Yet, greater still,
Your unquenchable thirst for me.

I am a child, a lowly one,
Troubling you yet and always.
I tug at the hem of Your garment
While You tug at my heart.

Lord of my hopes,
Lord of my longing,
Lord of my sorrows,
Lord of my weeping,
Ruler of all Time and Space,
You draw me to an Eternity in Your Embrace.

Guardian Angel Prayer

Guardian Angel from heaven bright,

Watching beside me to lead me alright.

Fold thy wings round me and guard me with love

Softly sing songs to me of heaven above. Amen.

Guardian Angel Prayer

Angel of God, my guardian dear,

To whom God’s love commits me here,

Be ever this day at my side,

To light, to guard, to rule and guide.

 

Lord, give thine angels every day

Command to guard us on our way,

And bid them every evening keep

Their watch around us while we sleep.

 

John Mason Neale
