I love you Lord.
My strength.
We can do nothing if we lose touch with this spiritual cord.
To search for his love we must go to any length.

I was in a Quaker friends meeting.
Immersed in the silence.
We use too many words in our churching.
We should let the silent Holy Spirit be the essence.

On our own we can do nothing.
Self help is not an option.
Otherwise we find everything too demanding.
We act then just in permanent reaction.

We just need to repeat.
The Lord my strength  and we shall sit at his seat.

….

I love you my Lord
Because you are my only strength
But do we believe

……

See Psalm 17

All Souls. Saturday of Week 30 in Ordinary Time

O let your ears be attentive.
To the voice of my pleading.
May my soul be retentive.
To your summoning.

I was in the silent church listening.
I felt the atmosphere grow heavy.
Was this my imagination surging.
Or perhaps a soul’s fitful eddy.

But in that place there was something joyous.
Sublime and welcoming.
I was curious.
And left wondering.

Out of the depths do souls  call .
Seeking us even in our busy maul.

……..

Ears are attentive
But they’re mainly to this world
Is there another

…..

See Psalm 129 . Out of the depths I cry to you O Lord

All Saints

Happy the gentle.
They shall have  the earth for their heritage.
We can never aspire to their mantle.
For they are there from age to age.I was disappointed I couldn’t get to mass today.
But I was sitting alone in church reading this gospel.
Looking for some hopeful ray.
Suddenly I just believed this tale.That’s how faith emerges.
Out of nowhere.
Belief surges.
And removes all doubt and fear.The saints have found this path joyously.
And we follow them wearily, hopefully.

…….

Happy the gentle
They shall inherit the earth
We ask what are we

……

See Matthew 5: 1-12
