Hush little heart our Lord is sleeping:

Hush down O Brother wind, please know our Lord is sleeping...Let Him rest on into the night...
Hush down O Sister water, look see our Lord is sleeping, within our little boat
please let Him be! Gentle heart, O precious Lord, sleep on into this night, no fear will make us wake You, as we plough this treacherous sea...We have within our little hearts' our Lord and He is sleeping, no harm can come to us, as we put all our trust to Thee.

Gentle heart of Jesus, into Your arms enfold:

I AM the good Shepard that leads you little flock carries you gently to My breast and securely in My arms.
I AM with you little flock, your gently ever resting, within the palm of My hand, always before My blessed sight..
I AM with you little flock ,when the lour of others guide you and in your trust You stray from my faithful side... I will hear you little flock, when those that so happily led you... no more are there to want you, I will hear your bleeting cry.
I AM with you little flock, to guide you through My whispers, through My whistle you will know me, deep with in your precious heart.
Fear not O little flock, the wrong pastures you have trodden, they were never meant for one so precious in My sight...
Rest on O little flock, within My arms your sleeping, My sweet caressing gaze will always be your stay.

"I AM Spirit...I AM Truth"

Nobody can come to Me, unless first My Heavenly Father draws him...
God is not remote, He has such a needful, longing heart for each and everyone of us...Always waiting for us to open wide our searching hearts to Him. We have great need of You Heavenly Father. You have planted deep, deep inside an unquenchable thirst, within each and every heart...But Your thirst is greater still!
Good God, You are all gentleness,all loving,all compassion, all forgiving...
O gentle, gentle hand of our Good God, You are Spirit,You are Truth.
Draw us, ever draw us...we have the greatest need to be drawn.
We have the greatest need to be all You so Will us to become.
Our rest is in You... only there can our hearts find that so desired
place of peace. Nothing, nothing can give us that, unless we rest in You.
No matter the beauty of another heart, no matter what privaledges we are afforded, please draw us, let Your Holy Spirit envelope us, drawing ever drawing us...We shall run!

Prayer of king David:

"Who am I Lord, and what is my house, that You have led me as far as this?
Yet in Your sight, Lord, this is still not far enough"...
(King Davids prayer).

Nothing now between the eyes of the soul and the face of God:

Nothing in this life is enough, unless it has its centre in You Lord...
We need to see Your visable footprint within it all.
Draw us ever deeper into your unfathonable love and as You do, we are confident others too will be drawn as we are drawn and We shall run! Help us to exchange the things of this time for that of eternity without ever counting its cost...
Mould our hearts into living temples of Your love.
Remove all that now seperates us from You. Help us to give away all that will draw others to You. We ask nothing save, to do Your most Holy will on earth as it is done in Heaven. The sinfulness we have been born into, can never be a hindrance to coming to You because You gave too much for that to be so! We are truly trying to be all You know we can become.
Let us run after YOU...
You alone are our all in all.

Restouring the beautiful dream to its first fervour:

"Draw me after You, Heavenly Spouse, we shall run in the fragrance of your perfumes! I shall run and not grow weary until you bring me into the wine cellar, until your left hand is under my head and Your right arm blissfully embraces me;
and You kiss me with the most blissful kiss of Your mouth".
(From the 4th letter of St Clare to Blessed Agnes of Prague).

The reflection of a Saint:

"Behold how the priest during Holy Mass with such love, touches Jesus
in the Host...Do the same when you go to the dying".
It is perfectly possible to experience Jesus in the suffering
in those dying, because He is there to be found.

Let the eyes see from the heart, the ears hear from the heart,let
the hands give from the heart, the feet walk in the way of the
heart because from our hearts, does Jesus make His home!

What a wonderful life!

Lord give me an open heart to find You everywhere...
To glimpse the heavens enfolded in a bud...
Experience eternity in the smallest act of love.

Lord:

Lord, when I think that I have given all that I have to give and realize in a moment's honesty that it is I who am the recipient, deliver me from myself...
Lord, when I have convinced myself that I am poor and realize in a moment's honesty that I am rich in pride and envy,deliver me from myself...
Lord, when the Kingdom of Heaven merges deceptively with the kingdom of this world,Let nothing satisfy me but God.

He made Himself poor that we would give to Him:

Quite recently I was asked to help someone I could do little for...
This person was losing their battle for life. For some reason this person has touched this heart in a very profound way. We are well used to caring for the
dying but the question we have been left with, we have to do something more...
Why is it Lord that deep within us what we do never feels enough?
In the meditations of Mother Teresa we recently read, "Jesus gave
Himself totally,but for Him that would never be enough...He wanted to give
something more- to give us the chance to give to Him.
So He made Himself the needy one, so we could give to Him"...
Sometimes we struggle to know how we can indeed give in situations
where there appears no apparent way to help, especially where all
hope has gone...It came to this heart
Prayer, that is the most precious, strongest gift of love we
have for another. It may appear at first to be too small, too silent
too simple a gift but in this heart we have a very quiet gentle but
all consuming confidence that this is the greatest gift we can give
for another especially when there seems no apparent hope.

In the silence of a beating heart:

"Teach us that even as the wonder of the stars in Heaven only reveals itself in the silence of the night, so the wonder of God reveals itself in the silence of the soul"...
(Bhagavad Gita).

Do you believe I can do this?

There is a Holy darkness which enabless us to become like the little children we are asked to become in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
It is the blind man who is prepared to place himself completely in the hands of God, to be led like a littlechild.In order to raise our level of service, our love to God...
He plunges us into darkness. There we can learn to rely on God alone and so in time become effective channels for a light which comes, not from us but from God Himself.
(Meditations of Mother Teresa).

Mother of the WORD:

Daughter of the Father, Mother of the WORD, Spouse of the Holy Spirit
We your children adore You, Queen of Heaven,of all the angels and saints
of our little hearts too...
You endured the passion in full... Nothing was held back from You...All your Son endured, You endured. Be with us as we walk in the WORD,live for the WORD
Our lives are lived no longer for ourselves but Jesus alone... Blessed Mother
help us, protect us, petition for us...You alone are our hope as we journey
on lifes way.

Give it all you have and then some more:

We do not wish to be different:

We do not wish to be different but God's choice has made that so...
If we deny it, we deny God and for as long as we live, we have vowed to never turn away again, no matter the cost.

The Immaculate heart of our Blessed Mother:

Prostrate at thy feet, O great Queen of Heaven, we venerate thee we confess that thou art the Daughter of the Father, the Mother of the Divine WORD, the Spouse of the Holy Ghost.
Thou art the store- keeper and the almoner of the Divine Mercies...For this reason,
we call the Mother of Divine Compassion. Behold us here in affliction and anguish.
Deign to show us how truly thou lovest us...
We beg thee to ask the Holy Trinity most fervently to grant us the grace ever to conquer the devil and the world and our evil passions; the efficacious grace that sanctifies the just, converts sinners, destroys heresies, enlightens infidels and brings all men to the true Faith.
Obtain for us this great gift that all the world may form but one people only, and one Church.

Kindness, Justice, Integrity are what pleases Me:

A prayer of Jeremiah:
"Well you know, Lord,
the course of man is not in his control,
nor is it in man's power as he goes on his way
to guide his steps.
Correct us, Lord, gently"...

Do not think circumcision of the flesh is enough for the Lord...
It is circumcision of the heart that is called for.
Taking out the heart of stone and renewing it with flesh hearts...

When did wrong become so right:

Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it...
Right is right even if nobody is doing it.
(St Augustine)
