Oh my goodness is June already
"Half a year has gone!" exclaimed many
How well have I lead my life?
How have I tried to love in truth and charity?
How hard have I tried to repent and make straight thy path?
How much have I love You and allowing You to love me?
The "How"s and "what"s can make a list as long as the Nile River
And we swim down our river of Life with much anxiety, apprehensions & adventure.
At times we hit the rapids, sometimes we sail peacefully
before long the speed picks up and down you plunge from the waterfall
surfacing again we move through bends, joined with other "lives" and at times split into other courses.
Sometimes we hide in the darkness, sometimes we bask under the sunlight
A journey we can't see where's our end unless we see through His eyes from above
How I long to stop for a while, long enough, to be joined with Him again
drawing life and drinking from the wells of living water again
To nourish, to purify, to cleanse, to take stock.
Hymn of today's mass that never fails to move me in some ways and a reminder to call upon the Lord every moment:
"Lead me Lord, lead me lord, by the light of truth.
To seek and to find the narrow way.
Be my way, be my truth, be my life, my Lord,
and lead me Lord today."
