The Song Of Songs

Flowers appear on the earth

the season of singing has come

the cooing of doves is heard in our land

who is this

Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I awakened you by the apple tree... 

In JESUS name

 

To the Angels, the Prophet Joel & to me

Blow the trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! The day of the LORD is here!

Then they will know that I, the LORD your GOD dwell in Zion, My holy mountain. Jerusalem will be holy and no foreigners will never ever pass through her again.

Amen ⚜️

Joel 2:1 - 3:17

Psalm 40 - Book One

I waited patiently for the LORD;
He inclined to me and heard my cry.

He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay,
and set my feet upon a rock,
and established my steps.

He has put a new song in my mouth

-- Praise to our God;

many will see it and fear,

and will trust in the LORD.

Blessed is that man who makes

the LORD his trust,

and does not respect the proud, 

nor such as turn aside to lies.

Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works

which You have done;

and Your thoughts toward us 

cannot be recounted to You in order;

if I would declare and speak of them,

they are more than can be numbered.

In the name of the Father ⚜️

Psalm 40 - Book Two

Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
my ears You have opened,
burnt offering and sin offering
You did not require.

Then I said: " Behold, I come; 

in the scroll of the Book

it is written of me."

I delight to do your will, O my GOD,

and your law is within my heart."

I have proclaimed the good news

of righteousness in the great assembly;

indeed, I do not restrain my lips,

O LORD, You Yourself know.

I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;

I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;

I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly.

in the name of the Son  ⚜️ 

Psalm 40 - Book Three

Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O LORD;
let Your lovingkindness and Your truth
continually preserve me.

For innumerable evils have surrounded me; 

my iniquities have overtaken me, 

so I'm not able to look up;

they are more than the hairs of my head; 

therefore my heart fails me.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; 

O LORD, make haste to help me!

Let them be ashamed and brought

to mutual confusion

who seek to destroy my life; 

let them be driven backward 

and brought to dishonor who wish me evil.

Let them be confounded because of their shame,

who say to me, "Aha, aha!" 

Let all those who seek You rejoice

and be glad in You;

let such as love Your salvation say continually, 

"The LORD be magnified!"

But I am poor and needy; yet

the LORD thinks upon me.

You are my help and my deliverer;

do not delay, O my GOD.

and the Holy Spirit. Amen! ⚜️

On The Sill

In the Name of the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit  ➕  Amen.

Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

In The Heights, Glory to Thee LORD!

ALL Glory to Thee LORD! Praise the

LORD from the heavens; praise

Him in the heights!

    Praise Him, all His angels; praise

Him, all His hosts!

    Praise Him, sun and moon; praise

Him, all you stars of light!

    Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, 

and you waters above the heavens!

    Let them praise the name of the

LORD, for He commanded and they

were created.

    He also established them forever

and ever; He made a decree which

shall not pass away.

    Praise the LORD from the earth,

you great sea creatures and all the

depths;

    Fire and hail, snow and clouds;

stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

    Mountains and all hills; fruitful

trees and all cedars;

    Beasts and all cattle; creeping 

things and flying fowl;

    Kings of the earth and all peo-

ples; princes and all judges of the 

earth;

    Both young men and maidens;

old men and children.

    Let them praise the name of the

LORD, for His name alone is exalted;

His glory is above the earth and

heaven.

    And He has exalted the horn of

His people, the praise of all His 

saints -- of the children of Israel, a

people near to Him. Praise the LORD!

Psalm 148

Bible Hub

light green

 

I came with many knots in my heart,

like the magician's rope.

You undid them all at once.

I see now the splendor of the Student

and that of the Teacher's art.

Love and this body sit inside your presence,

one demolished, the other drunk.

We smile. We weep. Tree limbs

turning sere, then light green.

Who sow in tears will reap in Joy

and it is gone

and its place remembers it no more

Travellers With A Purpose

 

The Bread of Life

 

Jesus said: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the supper he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come for everything is now ready.' But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have just bought a field and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.' Another said, 'I have just bought five joke of oxen and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.' Still another said, 'I just got married so I can't come.'  The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in here the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.' The servant said, 'Sir, what you ordered has been done, there is still room.'

indeed now...

i who am DUST & ASHES

have taken it upon myself

to speak to the LORD...

"suppose just two should be found there...?"

Genesis 18 (June 7th)

PSALM 47

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.         

      

         Clap your hands, all peoples!

       Shout to God with loud songs

            of  joy!

For the Lord, the Most High, is

        terrible,

    a great king over all the earth.

He subdued peoples under us,

    and nations under our feet.

He chose our heritage for us, 

    the pride of Jacob whom he

         loves.                       Selah

God has gone up with a shout,

    the Lord with the sound of a

         trumpet.

Sing praises to God, sing praises!

    Sing praises to our King, sing

        praises!

For God is the king of all the earth;

    sing praises with a psalm!

God reigns over the nations,

    God sits on His Holy Throne.

The princes of the peoples gather

    as the people of the God of 

         Abraham.

For the shields of the earth belong 

        to God;

    he is highly exalted!

The Song Of Songs

My beloved lifts up his voice,

he says to me,

"Come then, my love,

my lovely one, come.

For see, winter is past,

the rains are over and gone.

The flowers appear on the earth.

The season of glad songs has come,

the cooing of the turtledove is heard

           in our land.

The fig tree is forming its first figs

and the blossoming vines give out their fragrance.

Come then, my love,

my lovely one, come.

My dove, hiding in the clefts of the rock,

in the coverts of the cliff,

show me your face,

let me hear your voice,

for your voice is sweet

and your face is beautiful."

The Lord said

My Heart rests in your heart ... When on Holy Thursday I left Myself in the Blessed Sacrament, you were very much on My mind ...
