The Baptism

Because He was baptized; We shall share in His baptism: I am signed sealed and delivered by Him Whose Spirit hovered over the waters. We're sent by God: Father, Jesus, and Ghost, A force, wholly driven, Powered by Love. To a people who sit in darkness, The born of the Spirit are Light. Since He called Matthew; Sinners and tax collectors come. I am the chief of these: Who came to His Altar. I met Him there. And in Reconcilliation obtained New Life. I have new sisters and brothers. Am in the family of God. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you. Help me with your Rosary and Scapular. Jesus Sacrifice paid attonement for me. On a crucifix I'm reminded of it. No stranger with suffering, I emphathize with it. I offer up my suffering. I will sacrifice of myself. I shall share. Oh, that I might be humble. As the mother of God was. Like Mary is in Heaven. She is pure and likeness of her brings virtue to mind. Prayers, hers, better than mine.

Christmas

A Christmas son, a Christmas song; sing us a Christmas song. The Saviour is born, He sleeps in hay. He's come to save, us from our sins, away. He is the Light, of the big bang, He's the Light, out from which darkness sprang. He came to serve, suffer and sacrifice; on a cross from which to hang. He comes to touch us in our Feast. He comes in our Eucharist. Come to the front to meet him: In our Christmas, in ou hymn. Come again to Bethleham. Come to a World in need. Be a saviour unto them. Bring Peace and Joy and Love. Bring Hope and Light and Life.

Long o Houses of Israel

Long o Houses of Israel you've awaited your King He is here right now in our Chapel of Adoring He's present Body Blood Soul and Divinity in the Host He's everywhere eternally Father Son and Holy Ghost Jesus is coming again we'll see Him in cloud We see Him in the marginalized if we're not too proud If we care for Him "do it unto them you've done it unto me All done to the least of these will bear fruit in eternity After all the Black Friday sales before sales of January Give of ourselves as did our Mother Mary Make sacrifice of self as did our Messiah Master He'll come inside your heart and live in you brother

I Believe in a Faith

I believe in a faith that is alive; who I am is a child of God. My Mother is Mary, because her Son Jeus is my brother! His Spirit, our Father's, sealed us, we are Confirmed, Baptised, Confessed, in Communion: if that isn't born again I don't know what is? A paticurlar Catholic, a peculiar Christian, who wants to share, who needs Conversions, who likes to adore God, who loves to share, who says use me. Especially for God, in a special way our Eucharistic Lord, in me grows a hope of a new day, a better day, an united Heart in every way of Sacred Heart to rule over me.

Pilgrim's Song

One, two, three, four It's a jubilee, Open the door: Let in the Light, Open our heart; Empty's the tomb, But the Angel bright! Rejoice and go! To pilgrim's site. Thenks for the Way. Peace is the Truth. Make all things right. This is our Life. Love exubriantly. All Reconcile. All forgiven. Mercy and grace. Faith of the free. Glory sunrise. Lord cary me. Lift me up. Make me your child. Let me sing. Hearty and wild.

Too Late

Is it ever too late to change? It is men's attitude towards women That needs to change This man's that needs to change Now I defend the right to life I did not in my youth The liberal culture of death Wants to end tax breaks For charities who support life The conservative support Must come or it will be Too late

Jesus Spaketh

The Lord hath said You will never be alone "Breath on me Breath of God" First installment of Your Holy Spirit The Lord hath said "Take my yoke upon you" "Just a closer walk with Thee" "Share in God's grace...in...confirmation of the Gospel" The Lord hath said "I am the Alpha and Omega" "I'll fly away O Glory I'll fly away" The Lord casts down and lifts up The Lord hath said "I am the bread of life" "We are one body one body in Christ" "Always and everywhere to give You thanks" scripture from NRSV

Signs

I thought I heard a robin Working on a song I'm sure I saw a chic-o-dee Different feather for summer strong The groundhog saw his shadow But winter won't last long Old man winter does not belong There is a melt, a maple harvest Got to get back to the sugar shack Not to see a girl this time But beat the Bible black Indeed how good is the Lord This aoul is back on track Tis good to see others turn And see grow the Eucharist stack Like Abraham retuned with Issac As Moses parted the Red Sea Elijah called fire from heaven Jean Baptiste turned souls to Thee Tongues of fire came from heaven St. Teresa was a restoree There will come a revival Sure as the devil's done with me.

Just Jesus Story

Oh that one day I'll see God's face I could have been homeless In Christ's house I've found a place That's my story just Jesus nothing less Oh that one day I'll walk the streets of gold I could have been a pot head Now I must pray see others told That's my story our daily Bread Now is the day to live up to my Baptism I could have been an abortion I have the Mother's love by marianism That's the Master's story the Lord's creation I could have been anything But by the story of our King I'm everything

Saviour Will Provide

How will we recreate; What the Devil does obliterate? In God’s love we’ll abide! I will seek God’s face. And incur God’s grace: The Saviour doth provide, What’s lost by technology, The waste of biology; God makes no evil drug. Rather we’ve the favour Of our Lord and Saviour. Nothing swept under the rug. Pray for restorations Of the lost generations. God’s will be done. For we are blessed And seek God’s rest: The Saviour’s Kingdom come. To God be all the glory. This our endless story: To the peoples send, Praise the Father, Praise the Son of Father, Praise Spirit, world without end. Amen.

Redemption

These notes I sing, voice quivering, Arthritic fingers play, someone someday might like; That's as redemtion as calculation As whatever cost as Jesus blood lost: To save this mispent life, our needless strife, Our fallen race, with favour from His face. He atoned for our sin. God made the offerin'. Spirit come into our lives. Then this feelbe rises. When it's glory to the Father, honour to the Son, Praise to the Spirit, binds us as one, Builds a holy city, moving on the Way, Sends us to Heaven, our deliverance day. There we'll sing power, play forever. Dominion to the Three. How we're set free. Amen, amen, amen, amen!

When we don't

When we don't have the words to express your love When your ways are more than the stars above Give us a dream that won't be crushed Our restless spirits make them hushed Fill in our void with your grace That reaches us is as deap as space Encompass us the whole human race May we live again in the light of Jesus face

from last Mon.

This isn't the 7th day. It is Sun. This isn't a day for sports, shop. It is Sun.; a day of rest. You have to work. It isn't my fault. It is Sun,: I don't shop. And I don't want you working on my property. It is Sun. You have family coming over to yours. It is Sun. Get together with them at a place of Worship. You can't relax, recover? Try this Sun.!

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!

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
