The joy of your salvation

And grant me a willing spirit

To sustain me”                                                                 Psalm 51:12

For ALL of us out here

Broken in so many ways

But this world can break you---Oh Lord

You know that all too well

What are we to do

A NEW AND RIGHT SPIRIT  within me

 

RESTORE MY SOUL

JUST AS I AM

 

 

Just as I am

I come before you

My head bowed

And on my way to my knees

 

I would confess all my weaknesses

To you

But you already know

So what’s the point

 

Just as I am

You always loved me

Just as I am

I know you always will

 

I would perfect myself

If I could

But you already accepted me

Just as I am

 

Just as I am

You always loved me

Just as I am

I know you always will

 

I know you will

Love me

Just as I am

 

You love me

Just as I am

IT'S NOT EASY=TO BE A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST

 

IT'S NOT EASY

(TO BE A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST)

It wasn't easy

To be a follower of Christ

Two thousand years ago

In fact

It could cost you 

Your very life

And often did

TODAY-unless we are

In a foreign land

It is not likely to cost us

Our life

Yet it can cost us-

You and me-a great deal

“Peter began to say to Jesus,

'We have given up everything

And followed you'”                                                                      Mark 10:28

Today-it is MORE likely

To cost in terms

Of our finances

Or the TIME we devote

To our ministry

But what about

The less tangible ways

WHAT are the costs

Well we

Shouldn't be judging others

And we shouldn't be gossiping

About our neighbor

And we shouldn't be OVERLY CRITICAL

Of others or ourselves

And we shouldn't be RETURNING

Harsh words or hatred to others

WHEN they have mistreated us

So there are COSTS

To carrying the cross

Just as there were great costs

To Jesus and his disciples

“The BEGINNING of wisdom 

Is this:  GET WISDOM

Though it cost ALL you have-

GET UNDERSTANDING”                                                               Proverbs 4:7

IT'S NOT EASY

To be a FOLLOWER of Christ

“Then Jesus said to his disciples,

'WHOEVER wants to be

My disciple

MUST deny themselves

And TAKE UP the cross

And follow me

For whoever wants 

To SAVE their life

Will lose it

And whoever loses their life

For me

WILL FIND IT”                                                                                 Matthew 16:24-25

I found myself

I found MY LIFE

I found my PURPOSE

For living

In being a FOLLOWER of Christ

No-it has not been easy

It is a CONSTANT CHALLENGE

To KEEP God and Christ

Number ONE in your life

It's hard

To be a follower of Christ

And we are

NEVER going to be perfect at it

Maybe-not even good at it

But every day-

WE get a NEW OPPORTUNITY

A fresh opportunity

To be strengthened

By OUR FAITH

And by God's and Christ's GRACE

And by our community

To GROW CLOSER to God

Dear Lord-the REWARDS

Of your LOVE AND GRACE

Are worth the COST

In Jesus' name

Ps        INSPIRED by an article in LIVING FAITH MAGAZINE by Melanie Rigney

A FATHER SHOULD BE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JUNE 15^th, 2012

 

 

A FATHER SHOULD BE

 

 

A father should be

A source of inspiration

For his child

 

A father should try

To be a sign of

Love, honesty, and hope

 

A father should be

Fun to be with

For his child

 

A father should be

A disciplinarian

For his child-when he has to be

 

A father should know

That more than

The material things

He brings his family

It’s the intrinsic values

That he teaches children

That are most important

 

A father should know

He will fall short

From time to time

 

Most of all

A father should know

That we love him

No matter what

And it is up to his children

To tell him so

 

Happy Father’s Day!

             In the land your God

             Is giving you”                                                    Exodus 20:12

 

            “A father to the fatherless

THE FATHER OF US ALL=SAINT JOSEPH

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE FATHER OF US ALL---SAINT JOSEPH

 

He was

The Father of all Fathers

The Father of Jesus

Our Lord

 

The angel of the Lord

Appeared to Joseph

 

“Do not be afraid

To take Mary as your wife

Because what is conceived in her

Is from the Holy Spirit”

 

Are you serious Lord

 

Could you imagine

How you would react

How I would react

How anyone would react

To this---in today’s world

 

Joseph was a righteous man

He did not want

To expose Mary to public disgrace

So he stood by her

 

Then the angel

Told Joseph

To take the child and Mary---to Egypt

And he did this too

 

He was

A carpenter by trade

And as his human Father---

Along with Mary

Was responsible for developing the human traits and character

Of Jesus

 

Our Saint Joseph

A man of righteousness

A man of honor and faith

The Patron Saint of Fathers

 

Our Saint Joseph

Who stood tall

In the midst

Of it all

 

Our Saint Joseph

The Father of the Holy Family

Our Saint Joseph

The Father of the Universal Church

 

Our Saint Joseph

THE FATHER OF US ALL

JUNE 20^th, 2012

 

 

A PERSON---NOT A NUMBER

 

 

You are a person

Not a number

You are a person

To be loved

 

Maybe not

To this world

But to God

 

God knows

Every inch of you

It is said

He even knows

The number

Of hairs

On your head

 

So when

This world

Gets you down

Remember

You are a person

With dignity

You are a person

Worthy of respect

 

God loves you infinitely

 

You are a person

Not a number
