May today there be peace within

15 October 2004, 6 am | Prayer

May today there be peace within.
May you trust your highest power
    that you are exactly where
    you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite
    possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
    and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing
    you are a child of God
Let this presence settle into your bones,
    and allow your soul the freedom to sing,
    dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of you.

— St. Thérèse of Lisieux

  1. PASS THIS ON TO WHOEVER DOESN’T KNOW HIM: I abhor the moral depravity of our safe-sex, sacrilegious-society: If America doesn’t wake-up from their spineless slumber, we’ll have literal Hell-to-pay (MAKE A DECENT CONFESSION) — If you can’t see the vast, self-evident-reality of Heaven or Hell after this Finite Existence, may God Almighty have mercy on your indelible soul -Blessed Otto

  2. I like the “anger” quote, Mark, but wanted to comment on the “back in a dream” post. Have you read “The Five People You Meet in Heaven”? It’s fiction, of course, and I don’t usually do fiction, but I found the theme interesting even if I didn’t agree with all the author’s views. For me, though, if it were indeed possible to “witness” in such manner, I think I’d find myself much in the same position I do when I kneel down and begin to ask God to reach my family. I name certain individuals, then move on to my wife’s family, then find myself asking just who it is that I WOULD’NT like to see “saved”. My answer, therefore, must come to this: “God..is there ANYone down there You might be able to so use me to gain their soul?”…………
