Saturday of the 4 th Week in Lent

O Lord, O God.
I take refuge in you.
You are my living God.
I can only live in you.Death comes to our family.
We grieve.
But new life also comes to our family.
We lose and we receive.

It is you who test mind and heart.
O righteous God.
We lose then make a new start.
And cross a new ford.

God is a shield before me.
Who saves me.

…….

O Lord and O God
I take refuge in you now
You , my living God

…….

See Psalm 7

Friday of the 4 th Week in Lent

The Lord is close.
To the broken hearted.
Our life is poetry not prose.
Not despairing but enchanted.We need to follow the breath.
Go into the inner self.
Where there is lasting life not death.
Oneness of all humanity not just self.

Here deep down.
Is eternity.
Where hope rises and sorrows drown.
An ever lasting entity.

Follow the breath.
Embrace life not death.

……

The Lord is quite close
We have to follow the breath
And then be mindful

…….

See Psalm 34

There is another who bears witness.
And I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true.
We acknowledge his truth and fitness.
Although we can only read not view.

John was a burning.
And shining lamp.
Truth illuminating.
Leading us up the spiritual ramp.

You were willing to rejoice in his light.
But the testimony that I have is greater.
We must keep him in our sight.
Now and not later.

Sadly John is long gone.
But still his light shone.

…….

John bore true witness
His testimony was true
This we acknowledge

My father is working.
Even now as I am working.
Praying.
Curing.

For as the Father raises the dead.
And gives them life, so also the son gives life.
At mass this Gospel of John was read.
The words themselves seemed to give life.

Whoever hears my word and believes.
Has eternal life.
He who listens and not just hears receives.
This is indeed joyful life.

The words read out were so life full.
And joyful.

……

Father is working
Just as I am now working
These are saviour words

……

See John 5 : 17 – 30

Behold  the water from the temple.
Was trickling out from the south side.
We need not tremble.
The surf takes us for a ride.

And wherever the river goes.
Every living creature that swarms will live.
Surviving life’s throws.
And born to survive.

It was a river that I could not pass.
For the water had risen.
As we wade through grass.
Releasing us from spiritual prison.

This water goes down into the sea.
The water will become fresh when it flies into the sea.

…….

Water from the temple
Flows deeper into the sea
And we follow it

…….

See Ezekiel 47 : 1-9, 12
