My deepest peace I find in Thee.


Prayer before Jesus Crucified

Dear Lord, when looking up at Thee,
I see Thy loving eyes on me;
Love overflows my humble heart,
Knowing what a faithful friend thou art.
A cup of sorrow I foresee,
Which I accept for love of Thee;
Thy painful way I wish to go,
The only way to God I know.
My soul is full of peace and light,
Although in pain, this light shineth bright;
For here Thou keepest to Thy breast,
My longing heart to find there rest.
Leave me here freely all alone,
In cell where never sunlight shone;
Should no one every speak to me,
This golden silence makes me free!
For though alone, I have no fear,
Never wert Thou, O Lord, so near.
Sweet Jesus, please, abide with me!
My deepest peace I find in Thee.
Amen

Saint Titus Brandsma

TRUE PARTICIPATION IN THE MASS

"I was gathered into the offering of the Son to the Father. I participated in the self-offering of God today."

FEATURED SCRIPTURE | Revelation 3:1-3

I know your works; you have the name of being alive, and you are dead. Awake, and strengthen what remains and is on the point of death, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God. Remember then what you received and heard; keep that, and repent. If you will not awake, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.

Without a moral framework, there is nothing left but immediate self-indulgence by some and the path of least resistance by others. Neither can sustain a free society. | Thomas Sowell
