    Hymn of Praise (From Prologue of Orhid)

    HYMN OF PRAISE To the Creator O Infinite Creator, in soul I bow before Thee. When I speak Thy name I belittle Thee; With my every thought I belittle Thee. What is the mind able to think before the open sea of Thy spaciousness? What can the tongue say when it must remain silent Before...

    Garden of Affliction

    wonderful poem! nice parallel comparisons It took a few times of re-read but I finally understood: Into flame of judgement bound Baking redemption's bread This just feels a little indelicate. Likely my own poor taste?

    The Eye That Sees All (from Prologue of Orhid)

    The eye that sees all, the ear that hears all Travels with everyone, everywhere they go— Without changing place, present in every place. Where virtue is being kneaded, God is the yeast in the dough; Where light is sought, He gives of Himself; Where help is cried for, He is not absent. Quietly...

    Theresa of Avila

    We are all prodigals saved by grace. When I think of it, now old, I realize He has always been guiding me to love Him and be loved by Him all my life. I just wish I could have been as aware of how much He loves me in my youth as I now am. I am a hard case, taking years to draw to Him. Look in...

    Eternal Canticle Theresa of liseux

    St Theresa of liseux THE ETERNAL CANTICLE. SUNG IN BANISHMENT. Exiled afar from heaven, I still, dear Lord, can sing, — I, Thy betrothed, can sing the eternal hymn of love; For, spite of exile comes to me, on dove-like wing, Thy Holy Spirit’s fire of rapture from above. Beauty supreme! my Love...

    The Value of Faith and the Magnificat

    ............When all the temptations of this world reveal the opposite side of their faces—when beauty turns into ugliness, health into sickness, riches into poverty, glory into dishonor, authority into humiliation, and all-blossoming physical life into filth and stench—by what shall we overcome...

    Like Every Single Week

    Worshiping Him by hymn continues to keep my mind and my heart focused on Him. All the time is not enough to worship Him and to tell Him I love Him.

    Christians

    You are exactly right. We don't accept false teaching and heresy but we accept those that believe the fundamentals, and that love Him. It is much easier to fault outside of ourselves, than to know that we ourselves see through through a dark glass, not that well. Humility counts, we don't...

    My Child, Get Up!

    My advice: keep the poetic part down and reveal His love to you and your love to Him. Its that heart that may touch others to be drawn to Him. If their heart is not fertile it wont matter anyway!

    I am most precious to Him and He is most precious to me.

    from The Prolog of Orhid day 12 HOMILY on how man is most dear to (II Corinthians 12:14) These words, which could have only been spoken by fiery apostolic love toward one's neighbor, express the essence of the relationship of the Christian toward God, and of God toward the Christian. The...

    Shall I fear You?

    Shall I fear You? Should I fear you? You love me so wonderfully, my Saviour You can't wait to bless me, You can't wait to do me good Will the evil one trick me? Does Your watchful eye allow that? Surely the wicked one has little chance, I belong to You, I am Yours How Mary Magdelene like I...

    Christians

    Christians are like Gold, they are where you find them. We must believe on the atoning work of Christ to be a Christian, and arguably other important things. We ourselves must love God completely, be completely given to Him, be owned by Him. Because He loves us overwhelmingly He will give us...
