REGARDLESS...




"REGARDLESS OF CONDITION, OF NATIONALITY, OF BELIEF…”

FORGOTTEN OR IGNORED IS “REGARDLESS OF GENDER”?

AGAIN...




SAINT IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA, THANK YOU...



FOR TEACHING US

TO FIND GOD IN EVERYTHING…



AND FOR TEACHING US THE WAY

TO PRAY FROM THE HEART, FROM THE MIND,

AND FROM OUR DAILY EXPERIENCES.

YOU TELL US THAT NO EXPERIENCE IS ALIEN

TO THE HEART OF GOD.

THE BISHOP WE ALL NEED!






This is one of the bishops who hails from Kenya. He equated himself as one among his people and came down 
keeping his dignity and office for a while aside and carrried 
the food grains along with the volunteers and the local youth for the poor hungry flock of his diocese. He set a wonderful example as a servant appointed by the servant of servants, not to master but to serve, to the rest of the bishops in the world. There is much to learn from him.

PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS. DON’T JUST READ BUT SHARE IT!

ST. CHARBEL MAKHLOUF, SAINT FROM THE EASTERN CHURCH







A beautiful ode to Saint Charbel, written by J. Michael Thompson:

The mountain heights of Lebanon
Resound with songs of joy;
The cedars of that ancient land
Stand tall as we employ
Our hymns of praise and thankfulness
For Sharbel's saintly ways,
Lived out in strict humility
That guided all his days.


True monk and hermit of the hills,
Saint Maron's modest son
Scorned wealth and comfort in his life
That heaven's crown be won.
Of Mary, heaven's Queen and Gate,
Devoted son was he,
Who cherished all the ancient rites
With great humility.


Fierce lover of the lowly life,
True father of the poor,
As you have done, so help us all
To struggle and endure,
That Christ be praised in ev'ry life,
That riches not ensnare
Or rule us in our daily walk;
That strong may be our prayer!

O Father, Son, and Spirit blest,
One God in persons three,
Receive this hymn we offer now,
And keep your Church e'er free
To follow, as Saint Sharbel did,
Enflamed with love so bright
That we, with eyes fixed firm on Christ,
May vanquish sin's dark night.

COME, HOLY SPIRIT!


HOLY SPIRIT, YOU ARE THE FIRE OF LOVE!







I was listening to a song that says "let the fire of love consume our hearts." These words leap right into my spirit. We must desperately seek the Holy Spirit fire of love that so consumes our hearts that it catches the rest of our being on fire with love, love, love...A fire that cannot be quenched but drives our every thought, every word, every motive, every move, every song, every single part of our make up and molecules.

Holy Spirit fire of love come consume our hearts. May your fire of love spread and make up our very beings from the inside out. May your love drive us to passionate love with you and compassion for your most beloved creations. Fire of love come consume…

COME, HOLY SPIRIT, COME!
