Winds blow through the forests of the world
and we smell love.
Ocean tides blanket the earth
and we taste love.

Stars and galaxies swing through the sky
and love is ours.

A small bird lights in your garden and calls.

The quiet voice of love surrounds us all.

Love lifts us, binds us, moves us, teaches us, heals us.

And shakes us...

Indian Prayer--
I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still - in each new dawn.

CLARITY IS FREEDOM

CLARITY IS FREEDOM
From the
Twelve Sacred Voices
from the East and West by Daniel Ladinsky)


I had tea yesterday with a great theologian,
and he asked me,

“What is your experience of God’s will?”

I liked that question –
for the distillation of thought hones thought in others.
Clarity, I know, is freedom.

What is my experience of God’s will?

Everyone is a traveler. Most all need lodging, food,
and clothes.

I let enter my mouth what will enrich me. I wear what
will make my eye content,
I sleep where I will
wake with the
strength to
deeply
love


all my mind can
hold.

What is God’s will for a wing?
Every bird knows
that.

~ St. Teresa of Avila ~

Novena to St. Therese
on the Feast of Saint Therese
(October 1)


[image]

Saint Therese, flower of Carmel, you said you would spend your heaven doing good upon the earth. Your trust in God was complete.

Listen to my prayer; bring before God my special intention... Pray for me that I may have something of your confidence in the loving promises of our God. Pray that I may live my life in union with God’s plan for me, and one day see the Face of God who you so ardently loved.

Saint Therese, you kept your word to love God and to trust the world to that loving providence. Pray for us that we may be faithful to our commitment to love. May our lives, like yours, be able to touch the world and bring it to peace.

thank you st therese
for answered prayers

In Time of Sorrow
May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Not turn your heart to stone,
And may you always remember
You do not walk alone.

A PRAYER TO THE HOLY GUARDIAN ANGELS
(Feast, October 2)

DEAR Angel at my side, my good and loyal friend, you
have been with me since the moment I was born. You
are my own personal guardian, given me by God as my
guide and protector, and you will stay with me till I die.
He who created you and me gave me to you as your
particular charge. You assisted in great joy at my
baptism, when I became part of the Mystical Body of
Christ, and was made a member of the household of
God and an heir of heaven. You saw the dangers that
beset my path, and, if I sinned, it was in spite of you.
You envied me when Christ came to me in Holy
Communion. Even though you probably were there
among the angels that adored Him the night that He
was born, you have not been able to receive Him as I
can. O, help me to appreciate these gifts! Help me to
realize, as you do, with every fiber of my being, that to
serve Christ is to be a King! Help me steadfastly to
avoid evil and do good and always guard my soul from
sin. Protect me as well from physical evils as I go about
my daily work. You will be with me all my life, and at the

hour of my death. Help me to face death bravely,
patiently, with great love of God, knowing that it is only
through death that I can come to Him in heaven! Then,
come with me to my Judge, and when the hour of my
salvation comes, take me home to my Father, God.
Amen.



Lamb of God,
You take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us.
Lamb of God,
You take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us.
Lamb of God,
You take away the sins of the world: grant us peace.

The long and winding road
that leads to your door
will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door ~~lennon/mccarthy


there are days when the burdens we carry
chafe our shoulders and weigh us down,

when the road seems dreary and endless,
the skies gray and threatening;

when our lives have no music in them,
and our hearts are lonely,
and our souls have lost their courage.

Flood the path with light,
run our eyes to where
the skies are full of promise;
tune our hearts to brave music;


give us the sense of comradeship
with heroes and saints of every age;
and so quicken our spirits
that we may be able to encourage
the souls of all who journey with us
on the road of life, to your honor and glory
ST.Augustine (354-430)


Heavenly Father,
in my present need,
help me to believe that you are a wave
of my anxiety and will do what is best for me.
Give me the strength to trust you
and put the present and future in your hands~~CDM





peace
and light
Patti

Lady of the Highway

protect us on our journey,
for all thy ways are beautiful,

and all thy paths are peace~~CDM

"Love to pray


Feel often during the day the need for prayer


Prayer enlarges the heart
until it is capable
of containing God's gift of Himself


Ask and seek
and your heart will grow big enough
to receive Him" (to her lay Co-Workers).

From the Prayerbook of the Missionaries of Charity

Let us all become a true
and fruitful branch on the vine Jesus,
by accepting Him
in our lives as it pleases Him to come:

as the Truth--to be told;
as the Life--to be lived;
as the Light--to be lighted;
as the Love--to be loved;
as the Way--to be walked;
as the Joy--to be given;
as the Peace--to be spread;
as the Sacrifice--to be offered,

in our families and within our neighborhood.

give peace a chance~~john lennon

My body will rest in calm and hope~ psalm 15






This prayer was written by Father Larry Hess when he was struggling with cancer..


I call on you right now in a special way. It is through your power that I was created. Every breath I take, every morning I wake, and every moment of every hour, I live
under your power.

Father, I ask you now to touch me with that same power. For if you created me from nothing, you can certainly recreate me. Fill me with the healing power of your spirit.
Cast out anything that should not be in me. Mend what
is broken. Root out any unproductive cells. Open any
blocked arteries or veins and rebuild any damaged areas.
Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection.

Let the warmth of your healing love pass through my body
to make new any unhealthy areas so that my body will
function the way you created it to function.

And Father, restore me to full health in mind and body so
that I may serve you the rest of my life.
