GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, A LOVING PRESENCE IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

The Beloved is our refuge and strength,

a Loving Presence in times of trouble.

Therefore we shall not fear though

the earth should change,

though the mountains shake 

in the heart of the sea;

Though its waters roar and foam,

though the mountains tremble with its tumult.

Psalm 46 (Psalm for the Praying, Invitation to Wholeness)

Nan Merril

May Faith, Hope and Courage
be our Guiding Light
today and always!
May God be praised!

Longing

ST. BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX,
ABBEY OF GETHSEMANI

Our longing is an echo 

of the divine longing for us. 

Our longing is the living imprint of divine desire.

- John O'Donohue in Eternal Echoes  -
