Thoughts on the day


Possible turning of phrase
Definite ending of days
Dawdling stares, no one prepares
Revelation

Slept where animals fed
Descended to the land of the dead
Food for life, ending strife
Salvation

Humility and meekness abound
A catechumen bishop is found
Peaceful teacher, prophetic preacher
St. Ambrose






God bless,

St. Nicholas!


Generous wise man
Was unjustly imprisoned
Gave glory to God

A child's crown


Piercing red
Fiery flow, fumes of chaff
Glowing gold gilding snow
Creating a crown fit for a kid
A child of bread


God bless,

St. Francis Xaiver


Sing praise and dance
Glory to the Lord
Dance to His house
Glory to our God

Sing praise, sing songs
Glory to the King
The missionary cries
Glory to His court

Sing praise and teach
Glory to the Word
Joyfully we sing
Glory, sing His song

Sing praise and rest
Glory to the Priest
Dancing to our home
Glory to our God





God bless,
>P<

1st Sunday of Advent

All creation waits
All creatures anticipate
Light shines in darkness


God bless,

Christ the King


Builders of babel and noise
Fighters and writers and dead
Flattened strains and deadened voice
Even the words of the wise

Warriors painting fields red
Leaders who've climbed to the top
Headed to the land of the dead
While blood from Abel cries

All empires will finally drop
Even Gaea and Uranus will fade
Pestilence and famine crop
Man who trusts in them dies

To us the Ancient One bade
The form of the Son of Man
Salvation has been made
Through the cross of sacrifice

We glory and praise His plan
His kingdom, dominion, and throne
Brought to us, He will, He can
All who trust in Him shall rise

We are never again alone
Belonging to Truth, to Light
He hears our every moan
And guards us with His eyes

And with His piercing sight
His bearing and divine poise
Separated by wrong and right
The righteous shall bear his prize
