...
Withdrawal in fear a gentle touch
Of true belief in thoughts long lost.
Climbed the sheer cliff to be with you.
Never questioning it's cost.

My rumbling heart held in God's loving touch
To live with you, to be with you, to hold you such.
All time is yours master mistress I prepare
To wash my hands and face to hold you dear.

In a fragile space where I see your angle face
The stallions run through a nectar sweet
A place safe from fear, you stand intimate there.
Angles cherish your love, holding gently your hair.

Take me now, all that I am,
Broken in pieces, I plead for your hand.
No peace is left, without you, that I've met.
This place where warm sun shine arms me in wealth.

You make me fortunate;
Pretty woman you are my sun.

"After saying this, what can we add? With God on our side, who can be against us? Since God did not spare his own Son, but gave him up to benefit us all. After such a gift we can be certain that he will not refuse anything he can give. Could anyone accuse those who God has chosen? When God acquits can anyone condemn? Could Christ Jesus? No! For he not only died for us-he rose from the dead and there at Gods right hand he stands and pleads for us.

Nothing therefore can come between us and Christ, Even if we are troubled or worried, or being persecuted, or lacking food or clothes, or being threatened or even attacked. As scripture promised: "For your sake we are being massacred daily and being reckoned as sheep for the slaughter." These are the trials through which we triumph, by the power of him who loved us.

For I am certain of this: Neither death nor life, no angle, no prince, nothing that exists, nothing still to come, not any power or height or depth, nor any created thing, can ever come between us and the love of God made visible in Christ Jesus our Lord."


Is a reading I've been asked to read at Mass on December 10th to celebrate what is called a Fifth Day reflection. It being one of the truly life changing pieces of text I've been blessed to adopt to my personal mantra.

Whoever may be reading these words, I wish you the peace of Christ. And that you show kindness and love to the hurting people in your life; including you.
