Rest in Him

LORD, my heart is not proud; nor are my eyes haughty. 

I do not busy myself with great matters, with things too sublime for me.
Rather, I have stilled my soul, hushed it like a weaned child.
Like a weaned child on its mother's lap, so is my soul within me.

(Psalm 131:1-2)

Look Up!

For me prayer is a surge of the heart,
it is a simple look towards Heaven,
it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.
-St. Therese of Lisieux

(Only God could create intricate beauty such as this...)

Deep as the Sea, Eternal Trinity

Eternal Trinity, Godhead, mystery deep as the sea, you could give me no greater gift than the gift of yourself. For you are a fire ever burning and never consumed, which itself consumes all the selfish love that fills my being. Yes, you are a fire that takes away the coldness, illuminates the mind with its light and causes me to know your truth. By this light, reflected as it were in a mirror, I recognise that you are the highest good, one we can neither comprehend nor fathom. And I know that you are beauty and wisdom itself. The food of angels, you gave yourself to man in the fire of your love.
(St. Catherine of Siena)

Duc in altum!

Duc in altum: let us take to the sea, let us go into the deep, let the Word guide us, and not be afraid to share the fatigue of the catch: the Master, Peter, and Padre Guglielmo are with us. (Giuliana Spigone)

Dawn Shall Break

In the tender compassion of our God
The dawn from on high shall break upon us,
To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,
And to guide our feet into the way of peace. (Canticle of Zechariah)
