A SAINTLY PROPHETIC MESSAGE

Hildegard of the Rhine once said:

“DARE TO DECLARE WHO YOU ARE.

IT IS NOT FAR FROM THE SHORES OF SILENCE

TO THE BOUNDARIES OF SPEECH.

THE PATH IS NOT LONG, BUT THE WAY IS DEEP.

YOU MUST NOT ONLY WALK THERE,

YOU MUST BE PREPARED TO LEAP.”

How goodly is God to give us such an ancient friend to echo what our prophets today are warning us about the “Great Awakening.”

BE CHEERFUL

“In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

–John 16:33

When I was working fulltime, I would create to-do lists constantly.  Now I cherish the luxury of time in being more spontaneous.  I came across an article that suggests creating a “Be of Good Cheer” list.  So, why not?  Time is plenty.  As I’m working on this list, I realize that writing down my ‘good cheer’ entries are uplifting and peaceful, drawing a wonderful occasion to thank God for these many blessings.

If you will do this, I bet, your list will bring about extraordinary good cheer!

A GRATEFUL HEART

“I will be Love.”

–Saint Therese

With a grateful heart, I shout out words of praise

For all that the Lord has done for me in the past

My praises shall bring my tomorrows

With God’s presence as my remedy

And so, believing in that still voice and listen

I shout out loving words of praise

Just for You
