The Angelus Bell

Veni Sancte Spiritus

Come, Holy Spirit, send forth the heavenly radiance of your light.
Come, father of the poor, come giver of gifts, come, light of the heart.
Greatest comforter, sweet guest of the soul, sweet consolation.
In labor, rest, in heat, temperance, in tears, solace.
O most blessed light, fill the inmost heart of your faithful.
Without your divine will, there is nothing in man, nothing is harmless.
Wash that which is unclean, water that which is dry, heal that which is wounded.
Bend that which is inflexible, warm that which is chilled, make right that which is wrong.
Give to your faithful, who rely on you, the sevenfold gifts.
Give reward to virtue, give salvation at our passing on, give eternal joy.
Amen. Alleluia.

Mary, we ask for your intercession that your Son, our Lord Jesus will continue to make our hearts burn for the will of Our Father to be done in our lives. Amen

We Dare to Ask

Happy New Year... Here is a poem I wanted to share with you,

a prayer from Ted Loder...

We ask only a few things more, O God,

a few small, mustard – seed size, faithful, saving things:

to walk with you in each moment

without plotting for tomorrow,

and so to really consider the birds of the air,

the lilies of the field

and find the treasures hidden

in the round of the daily;

to learn by leaning in to your Spirit

to be present to others without preoccupation,

to engage without having to win,

to disagree without being judgmental,

to accept outcomes without despair

to succeed or fail without misplacing hope,

to tune to the bracing hum of the stars,

to fathom enough

without dismissing fathomless mystery

of your creation, our brothers and sisters,

and the grace and mercy and power

of your embrace that holds close,

each small one of us,

and everything all together;

in Jesus’s name,

Amen

There is wisdom here.....

Always,

Bill
