Go out to all the whole world telling the kingdom of God is very near:
We listen to Your every Word Lord, it is indeed strength to our hearts, food
to our souls and light to our path...A powerful sword to fight the very real force that seeks
to destroy our peace we are given in You...Darkness attempts to weaken Your place in
our hearts and destroy us but we hold on to Your promise that light will overcome darkness.
The battles have been immense Lord but even when aware of the total nothingness inside, total sin filled self, You know we just bowed our heads and held on, trusting in all Your promises.
We have found hope when no hope was apparent, called out to see You when we had no sight to recognise You, walked in total nothingness but somehow we kept throwing ourselves into Your presence when nothing seemed to encouraged us to do so...We have called on loved ones for prayer when we had little to no energy left to ask because we remembered you told us these times need
much prayer indeed.
We have risen once again from the ashes, yes indeed every dying does have a resurrection...We are
a people of total hope in Holy Scripture which is there to direct, there to encourage, there
to light our path home.
We held onto Your Word and there were fortified by Your Spirit and in turn you too said, "when you are recovered go fortify your brothers"...and indeed we can stand and say, every death does have a resurrection, Thank you Lord for never letting go!

My God, my All
Come true light. Come, eternal life. Come, mystery concealed.
Come, treasure unnamed. Come, reality outreached all telling.
Come, oh you whom our minds cannot grasp.
Come, everlasting joy. Come, light that casts no shadow.
Come,hope of all the redeemed. Come my very breath, my Total
life. Come, my soul's consoler.
Come, my glory, my everlasting delight.
Shining vesture, searing to demon touch,
cleaning bath, bathe me in purest tears most holy.
Stay with me, oh Sovereign, alone do never leave me:
for so, when those enemies of mine shall come who
always seek to devour my soul, it is You they will see
dwelling in me, and at once they will flee.
