Out of the darkness we are enveloped by Your all consuming Light:


The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary, and She conceived of the Holy Spirit...
Holy Mother help our yes, be as Your yes, giving birth through the breathe of the Holy Spirit, to Jesus in this time and space that has so pleased our Heavenly Father, to place us. With our total focus and love to Heaven, to God! Let us have the courage to die daily to ourselves, in the little unseen ways of inner self not so much to the outer world...You are the potter, we are Your little ball of clay, it is a very messy business that's for sure Lord but make us not so much into beautiful ornate vessels, that can only be admired from afare...but functional ones, that can be grasped by your hand at anytime, dependable to Your heart, to be used as You so will.

God's roses, buttercups and daisies:






In God's rose garden there are strewn, buttercups & daisies too.
Each in their own way gives full measure and praise to God.
Don't rush to pluck the roses' because their thorns are sharp
the buttercups and daisies are just as precious to God's heart.

The beauty of The Eternal Rose:


All gentleness,all beauty, all preciousness, all loving, all forgiving, all powerful, almighty Heavenly Father. All creation, is gifted from Your hand, Willed from Your heart, not one moment of one second, not one minute of one hour, not one day passes without Your knowing, Your touch Your inspiration...
We are blessed, truly blessed, to see with such clarity Your love opening to our understanding through Your gentle outpouring, from the eternal river,brought gently, ever gently upon, within, from beneath the eternal wing... Flowing, always flowing out from the blessed temple, Your holy temple, flowing up, flowing out and through The Beloved, Your Beloved, our beloved... Lord Jesus Christ.
Not one moment of one second of one hour shall we be separated, ever separated for we are willed for all eternity to Be to be at peace within Your tender loving arms.

Every saint has a past, every sinner a future:

In the 5th century it was suggested that St Augustine could not possibly profess the Faith because he has previously been a great sinner.
Augustine suggested to his brothers in the faith, to such a statement they might reply, "Augustine is a bishop of the Catholic Church...He bears his burden and will
have to give an account of it before God. I met him in the company of good men.
If he is a bad man,he will know it. But even if he is good, it is not in him I have put my trust, because the first thing I learnt in the Catholic Church is not to put my hope in man...We are not doing our apostolate but Gods! because God has willed that this be so"...

Let us not recoil from your forgiveness Lord but desire to pull ever closer to You...We are not worthy to stand in Your prescence, but by Your loving mercy alone You have now made us worthy to take our place with You... You have washed us clean by your blood...You promised to pull closer still...Lord come so close that we shall find that peace we cannot find in this world...We shall be so as one with You, we shall emulate all You are becoming as one,made transparent by Your love.

To thine own self be true, because Truth sets you free to recline upon the breast of Jesus:


"Those who live by hypocrisy can perhaps achieve the sound of prayer but they cannot posses its voice, because there is no life in them...They lack the desire to fulfil the Father's Will"
( St Augustine)

The suffering servant:


..."No looks to attact our eyes
A thing despised and rejected by men
A man of sorrows and familiar with suffering
A man to make people screen their faces
He was despiced and we took no account of Him"...
(Isaiah.53.3)
