Untroubled in her devotion

5/29/2021

0 Comments

 
The Season of Easter concluded with the Feast of the Pentecost. We are now back to the Ordinary Cycle in the liturgy that begun after Christmas and gave way to Lent and Easter time. The readings are taken again from the Old Testament and New Testament alike, and in this 8th Ordinary Week they come from the Book of Ecclesiastes and the Gospel of Mark. 

The prayers designed for this time of the liturgical season are very meaningful. Today’s opening prayer is one of my most favourite prayers.

Collect
Grant us, O Lord, we pray,
that the course of our world
may be directed by your peaceful rule
and that your Church may rejoice,
untroubled in her devotion.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

We trust in the peaceful rule of God that prevails over chaos, despite the distraction that our decision and activities bring upon the world. We know that if necessary God will send us a new Moses to lead us through the waters of the seas and keep us safe from oppressors. If we persist in our devotion, in our prayer and trust ... nothing will trouble us, and we will rejoice.

Second chance seven ...

5/24/2021

0 Comments

 
Seven siblings are suddenly orphaned when their parents died in a tragic car accident. They are afraid they may be separated from each other but then a couple living far away decides to give them a second chance, a second chance seven. And it is also a second chance seven for their new parents who already sent into the world their five children and suddenly, their empty home comes to life again. The official adoption process was closed in 2020 and all seven became officially the Willis Family.  People are good, there is so much love in their hearts.  You can read and watch this story here.

Meet the Willis Family ...

Venite Spiritu (Come Holy Spirit)

5/22/2021

Wherever I go
Far away and anywhere
Time after time you always shine
Through dark of night calling after me
And wherever I climb
Far away and anywhere
You raise me high beyond the sky
Through stormy night lifting me above
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu
Venite Spiritus

Far away beyond the sky

Whenever I cry
Far away and anywhere
You hear me call when shadows fall
Your light of hope showing me the way
And wherever we climb
Far away and anywhere
You raise me high beyond the sky
Through stormy night lifting me above
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu
Venite Spiritus
Far away beyond the sky
