from Chapel, Fri., 8th Mar. '24

We're all dreaming of being high and mighty. At some point we lose the vision of the Immaculate; We don't know the time we'll meet Lord Almighty: We ask what is the need of an apostulate? But one day we'll see the Maker and King In the sky: dead, living, sinner or saint; By and by we'll have to give a recogning. Poor will be exalted, strength bestowed on faint. But the high and mighty will be brought low. Or the rich and endowed will have far to go.

Yesterday afternoon in the Chapel of Perpetual Adoration

Just Tired I feel spent Too many misspent or wasted years I'm tired Just tired of whatever Issues we're aware of Lord Some only You know about All you care about Some only You care about For You know me better than even I know myself Jesus knows best What is best for me Like a Dad is proud of His child And I am Your child Father I'm in love with Him Your Spirit strengthens me You lift me up to Your cheek It doesn't matter what I'm tired of For I'm not tired with You Though I may sometimes act that way When whatever gets the best of me I choose You You renew, restore and revive me You've this hope for the world, for Your Church, militant, suffering and triumphant Victory over issues, grief and complaints! We trust in God Deliverence is in our God alone We grow in Love God is Love We yield a harvest in time A harvest of love, developement, peace and justice We shall turn our lives around Turn our world around Souls turn to You And You meet our need We will want no more You are all we need All we ever wanted Our provider Forever Amen

More Polarization

Is that really ecological? The species can’t survive! The end is coming! Will Christ find Peace on Earth? I’ve a big foot print! I’m off the grid! Nuke power forever! Are there enough windmills? No wind no sun no power! Solar panels are the wave. Who introduced that species? Scheduled for extinction. Big builds big life. No nature – God’s unobserved! I support fracking. Climate change is real. It will support life. Control population growth. Enough pollution control! Support local farmers. It is free trade. Is it fair trade? Trucker power! All electric vehicles! No carbon tax! Enough charging stations? Co-op farming. Family farming. Chemicals are needed. Organic farming. More land fills. Recycle re-use reduce! Additives are safe. Isn’t it poisoning us slowly? God will make a new Earth! As it is in heaven?

Conservatives VS Liberals

Conservatives VS Liberals Dr. shouldn’t end life! Is life sacred? Is it a Health scare? How many are in mass graves? How many war vets are homeless? I take offence. Do Black lives really matter? Every child matters. I know I’m saved. Never backslid eh? The Mass is better in Latin. Do you get Eucharistic liturgy? I get history! Why not vandalize that bust? Your son is gay? My bishop is gay! Boy can’t be female! Isn’t not knowing sex okay? Is nothing sacred? I have a word for that! Spending is wrong! Isn’t arming spending wrong? We must be strong! Who looks after the neglected? That is a male role! Isn’t she a great weight lifter? She can cook too! I don’t trust men! Drugs rot your brains! I don’t need a script now! Work hard! Volunteering is most satisfying. Where will it end? How long will it take? Take up arms! Take up arms? What would Jesus do? Turn the other cheek!

Hardship

O Lord God hear me in my misery I am besought with ills Demons of my past and ghouls Of future difficulties You have promised to be with me In my present pain Renew in my being the joy Of my youth again So I my praise You And worship only You Father Give glory to Your Son And own Wisdom to Our Mother Venerate His adoptive dad Joseph And honour to Holy Spirit Till I see Your aid And hope in you Holy Family Oh Trinity I know You will be my Companion Who stayed Like one understands the homily We are protected by Christ's staff Jesus rod secures us Eternal life We are set free from internal strife
