ONE MOMENT IN TIME

 

 

Whatever happened

Whatever’s wrong

Walk away

Give it a rest

It’s just one moment in time

 

A moment in time

Out of a whole life

One moment in time

Don’t let it

Cut you like a knife

It’s just one moment in time

 

Whatever is wrong

Whatever has happened

Don’ let it

Bring you down

It’s just one moment

One moment in time

 

A moment in time

Out of a whole life

One moment in time

Out of all eternity

 

Whoever

Or whatever it is

Is it really all that important

It’s just

One moment in time

 

A moment in time

Out of God’s master plan

A moment in time

Out of all eternity

It’s just one moment in time

One moment in time

 

One moment in time

JUST TO LOVE YOU

 

 

 

 

 

 

OCTOBER 2^nd, 2012

 

 

JUST TO LOVE YOU

 

 

I don’t need to sleep with you

Just to love you

And to know I had your heart

Would make my heart complete

 

Just a hug

And to know

That it’s ok

Just to love you

 

Just to love you

Would set me free

Just to love you

Is all that I need

 

Just to love you

Would make my life complete

Just to love you

Would fulfill

My only need

 

If you slept

With a thousand men

It wouldn’t make a difference

 

It’s your heart that I want

In the end

It’s only your heart

That I want

 

Just to love you

Is my only need

And to know you love me too

Would make my life complete

GUARDIAN ANGELS

 

 

“Now I lay me

Down to sleep

 

I pray the Lord

My soul to keep……..”

 

Which of us

Hasn’t said that prayer

As children

 

Or even as adults

When times

Get extremely difficult

 

It may surprise you

To know

That the Bible

Speaks of angels

And even Jesus

Spoke of angels once,

 

“See that

You do not

Look down on one of these little ones

For I tell you

That their angels

In heaven

Always see the face of my Father in heaven”                                               Matthew 18:10

 

MY SOUL TO KEEP

YOUR SOUL TO KEEP

 

Children have guardian angels

To be sure

For that is why

Jesus loves the children so much

 

“Let the children

Come to me

And do not hinder them

For the kingdom of God

Belongs to such as these”                                                                    Mark 10:14

 

So children

Have guardian angels

But so do you and I

 

Angels

Are heavenly beings

Created by God

To assist people

 

And to guard-means to protect

 

How great is it that

To know that we have heavenly beings

To assist and guard us

In time of trouble

 

It comforts me

How about you

 

“And if I die

Before I awake

I pray the Lord

My soul to take”

 

George Bailey

In the movie,

“It’s A Wonderful Life,”

Wants to take his own life

 

And through

A series of flashbacks

Clarence-his guardian angel

Lets him see

HOW IMPORTANT his life was

 

And all the people

He had a positive effect on

 

YOUR LIFE too is also important

You too have a positive influence

On people

 

Your guardian angel-in your life

Is working in and for you

For we know

 

“Every time that a bell rings

AN ANGEL GETS HIS WINGS”

 

HERE IS TO

THE GUARDIAN ANGEL WALKING BESIDE YOU

SAINT TERESA=THE LITTLE FLOWER

 

 

 

 

 

 

SAINT THERESA=THE LITTLE FLOWER

 

Saint Therese’ of Lisieux=

Was a FANCISCAN CARMELITE

Who was one=of the MOST FAMOUS

Modern day Saints

 

Right before her death

In 1897=she said

“I feel that MY MISSION-

Is about to begin”

She died at the age of 24

 

She also said

“MY mission is of making people

LOVE GOD=as I love him=

Of teaching them=MY LITTLE WAY”

 

I consider her=the Saint

Of ORDINARY THINGS

And I try to love God

As she loved=THROUGH THE ORDINARY

 

My mom and dad named

My sister Terri=Theresa

After her

 

She wrote a book

About her little way=that was about her family

And her convent experiences

 

She was CANONIZED=ONLY 28 years

After her death

By Pope Pius XI

 

She loved=

Despite her faults and weaknesses

And RELIED ON

The total goodness of God

That is HER MESSAGE=to us

 

She had a supernatural trust

In God=which made her LIFE

And teachings=so attractive

 

She LIVED with joy=SPIRIT=courage

SIMPLICITY in prayer=and was indifferent

To everything=that was against the SCRIPTURES

Of our Lord

 

She once said

“Sanctity=does NOT CONSIST

In this or that practice

 

But in a disposition OF HEART

Which makes us humble=and SMALL

In the arms of God”

 

She RELIED on the SCRIPTURES

And her family=and through DIVINE HELP

To bring her=close to God

 

Her parents had NINE CHILDREN=

Four who died in infancy

And all the others=were girls

Who became nuns=four Carmelites

 

Therese’ was the youngest=and

She LOST her mother

When she was four=and at ten developed

A strange nervous illness

 

She was ATTRACTED

By the foreign missions=

But chose a CONTEMPLATIVE LIFE

And prayed=particularly for priests

 

At age 15=she took her case

Personally to Pope Leo XIII=to become a nun

And was finally ACCEPTED IN

Becoming a nun=the next nine years=she spent

 

HER LIFE=in ordinary ways=

DOING household and sacristy work

And in the TRAINING OF NOVICES

 

She once WROTE=

“You want a means for

ACHIEVING PERFECTION

I know of ONLY ONE=LOVE”

 

We should all STRIVE

To live like Saint Therese’

The LITTLE FLOWER=and live

Her little way OF LOVE=through the ORDINARY

 

She died in 1897=and today

She is RECOGNIZED=as the

PATRON SAINT=of foreign missions

 

Let us all live=like the LITTLE FLOWER

And live LOVE=IN THE ORDINARY

Her feast day is OCTOBER 1st

In Jesus’ name

MY VOCATION IS LOVE!

 

 

 

 

WITNESS

MY VOCATION IS LOVE

(  A Dedication to the Little Flower  )        =       Born January 2^nd---1873

 

She was born

In a little town in France

 

Her Mother died

When she was 4

And the family moved to Liseux

Where her Aunt helped her Father

To look after her and her sisters

 

One of 4 girls

Who all became nuns

Theresa, herself,

Became a nun

At the age of 15

 

Theresa never did anything extraordinary

But did everything extraordinarily well

 

She never

Held a position with great responsibility

But was gifted

With a great intimacy with God

 

She lived a life

Hidden in God’s love

But was directed

To write an autobiography

Which she called

 

THE STORY OF A SOUL

 

In this book

She described her life

“As a little way of spiritual childhood”

And wrote that what matters most in life

“Is not great deeds, but great love”

 

It is said That Theresa was a very sweet person

That lived her life

With a great simplicity

 

However it is very apparent

That she lived out her life

In conjunction with the 4 Gospels

 

A simple life

In obedience

To the Word of God---to the Will of God

 

She once said,

“My mission---to make God loved---

Will begin after my death”

 

                And

 

“I will spend my heaven

Doing good on earth

I will let fall

A shower of roses”

 

My Mom, myself

And millions of others

Have received roses from unexpected sources

After prayers to her

 

In this cold, cruel, indifferent world

We could ALL

Learn some things from Saint Theresa

 

To live out our lives

With selflessness

Instead of selfishness

 

To try to do small ordinary things

Extraordinarily well

 

And live out our lives

With such passion for God

And for others

 

So that we can truly say

Like Saint Theresa

 

“MY VOCATION IS LOVE”
