God keeps his promises.

Feast of St. Joseph - In honor of our five years:

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your devine Son all spiritual blessings, throughJesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.  Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesusasleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me.

This prayer was found in the fiftienth year of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle. Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it or keep it about themselves, shall never die a sudden death, or be drowned, not shall posion take effect of them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy; or shall be burned in any fire, or shall be overpowered in battle.

Say for nine mornings for anything you may desire. It has never been known to fail, so be sure you really want what you ask.

So I trust in love

Clear waters came and swept me back like a tide
as I dive in the river Jordan
I feel my head fall back
for a second my lungs expanded
arms spread open
I see you in me
looking up crying Abba Abba
your beaten flesh taking the place of my formerly broken heart

letting go of this world
is falling back into the river
thought it was flying no longer afraid
push my back up
rising from the water
falling from my face
life in my eyes
the only jewels I hold are the holes in my hands

sing a new song dance
shake my head water sprinkles from my hair
lifted hands now I see and can never look away

Communion

True desire to reach something
beyond what I want
and the temporary concerns that occupy
my state of mind lately

reach into
that calling in my heart

a voice
a single sound deep and harmonious
profound and everflowing

live rivers of joy
I send praise to you

in every nation
searching through the earth
all that I have seen
my heart calling out
to this one moment

the reason for my existence becomes so clear
in this moment I can feel
a tiny glimpse
the vastness of your love

the very core of my being

feeling my chest rise with every breath
my heart not lowering
I look up
eyes open wide yet remain serene

Hear it say
every earthly desire is yours
but now I only reach for this one thing

Reciprocate

2/12/11
All you want is my attention, you don't want to feel shot down.
But you wanted me to act differently to entertain your interest.
So here I am doing just that,
and now you feel a little scared and frustrated.

I will reciprocate, and what if I refuse,
I will keep fighting on.
Delete your words of shooting me down, what if I refuse.
Feelings I do not accept, and what if I refuse.

I will walk keep running in the fight
keep fighting through the pain
just because there's pain doesn't
mean my heart wavers
just because I fight doesn't mean it's for you
just because I love doesn't mean you have anything over me.

I will
reciprocate
and let it all be what it's supposed to be
and when these feelings come
what if I refuse?
I laught it off let it roll off my chest
what if neither you nor it have power over me.
And what if I refuse?
I will reciprocate.

I notice you get a little scared, a little frustrated,
aren't we having fun in your little game?
I said from the beginning I don't play games.
And what if I refuse? Refuse anything of this.
Instead wait for the truth, I'm running towards.
