How long oh Lord, how long:

If you want to be everything
Stop seeking to be something
(St Teresa of Avila)

Happy just to Be:

We are happy just to Be
Wherever that Being is
As long as our Lord
is happy to be there too!

The proper dynamic of love;

Learning to love the things of this world in the light of our God
and for the sake of Him...
To love God and take pleasure in the world (rather than stictly
to love it) for Gods sake...
Such love frees us from longing to be by others at all costs
To be consoled or reassured...
Only wanting to be loved for the sake of our spiritual benefit,
those who do love us for our spiritual wellbeing love us truly
with more energy, with more passion...
(Teresa of Avila).

Prayer of St Francis:

M

Lord you have set within this heart a love that surpasses all understanding:

Lord you have set before us Your love,
it surpasses all we are and know...
The Way now lies veiled but soon it will become
clear renewing, making all things whole...
Listen, Trust, be receptive to My WORD...
offer yourselves as living bodies...
I have promised to make all things new
Flowing from my side He comes quickly...

How I long:

"I long to understand in some degree thy truth, which my heart believes and loves. For I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand.
( St Anselm of canterbury).

A wonderful world:

This is a wonderful day
it's as bright as a days
ever been.
There is a big yellow
sun looking down
on a wonderful scene...








Up in the blue sky birds fly and sing our cares away
and out of each throat each note greets a wonderful day...





There is a sound of a symphony carried along on
the breeze.
Even the flowers are swaying in time with the
leaves on the trees...









Heaven is found right here on the earth It surrounds us in the wonderful things all around in this wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful world........

To sit in your presence:

To sit in your presence
not walking away...
where your love surrounds
me, for ever I'll stay...
This is my desire oh Lord
this is my disire.
