Whatever I am,
Whatever I do,
Whatever I have
is all from You.
Catholic children of my era came across the concept of infinity at a very early age. We were taught religion at school by means of the Catechism, a small red book, written in a 'question and answer' style.
Glad Tidings
If you should hear that I have died,
Do not be sad, be glad for me.
(Though life is good and joys abound
Though happiness may yet be found,)
The many tears that I have cried
For grief untold and sorrow seen,
For what is and what might have been,
Will fade away in love's embrace
When we behold the wondrous place
Where all shall dwell in love alone,
Our final and eternal home.
Dear God, please help me to set aside
my introspective woes
and live in the joy of the knowledge
of your love.
Father, I ask you to hold me,
Jesus, to heal me
and Holy Spirit to help me
though all this day.
