PRAYER: ST THERESA OF AVILA
Eternal Trinity, you are a deep sea,
into which the more I enter, the more I find,
and the more I find, the more I seek.
The soul ever hungers in your abyss, Eternal Trinity,
longing to see you with the light of your light,
and as the deer yearns for the springs of water,
so my soul yearns to see you in truth.
St Catherine of Siena

HUMOUR: THE ENGLISH HOSPITALITY FORWARDED BY SR ELSIE BABY
English Hospitality BY SR. ELSIE BABY
An American tourist in London wanders around , seeing the sights and occasionally stopping at some small pub to have a pint of beer. After a while, he finds himself in a very nice neighbourhood with stately residences. No pubs, no restaurants, and worst of all no public restrooms. However, he really has to pee, after all those pints of beer. He finds a narrow side street, with high walls surrounding the adjacent buildings and decides to use the wall to solve his problem.
He is tapped on the shoulder by a London Bobby, who says, "Sir, you simply cannot do that here."
"I'm very sorry, officer," replies the American, "but I really have to pee, and I just can't find a public restroom."
"Just follow me" says the Bobby. Then he leads the American to a back delivery alley to a gate, which he opens. "In there," points the Bobby, "whiz away sir, anywhere you like."
The fellow enters and finds himself in the most beautiful garden he has ever seen. Manicured grass lawns, big fountains, sculptured hedges, and huge beds of flowers.
He relieves himself immediately. As he goes back through the gate, he says to the Bobby "That was really nice of you. Is that what you call English hospitality? "
"No sir...” replied the Bobby, "that is what we call the American Embassy."

CYNTHIA ABEGAIL'S COLUMN: POEM
SOMETIME
(POEM)
It is crystal clear that His power
Above heaven and earth abound
Unfathomed glory and majesty
Sometimes, why do we worry?
He will deliver from the plagues
Under His wings you will hide
Do not be anxious of the night
Sometimes, why are we afraid?
The Lord will never forsake you
He will never abandon his people
His love is steadfast and faithful
Sometimes, why do we doubt?
Those whom He love He will guard
He will send his angels to help you
He will comfort you in your trouble
Sometimes, why do you run?
He will provide for all your needs
More than the sparrows or ants
Ask and it will be given to you
Sometimes, why not we seek?
He heals the lame and the sick
He purifies your sins so scarlet
He opens his kingdom to you
Sometimes, why not knock?
He gave his blood to save you
As the water gushed at his side
He promise that he will come
Sometimes, why not wait?
His kingdom is everlasting
No man hath seen and heard
The treasure of gold is at hand
Sometimes, why not at all pray?
His love for you is boundless
Jesus' mercy never fades
His compassion never fails,
Sometimes, why do you forget?

Today, in the bus, I saw a girl with golden hair I looked at her and sighed and wished I was as fair. When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one leg and used a crutch. But as she passed, she passed a smile. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine I have 2 legs, the world is mine. I stopped to buy some candy. The lad who sold it had such charm. I talked with him a while, he seemed so very glad. If I were late, it'd do no harm. And as I left, he said to me, "I thank you, you've been so kind. It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see," he said, "I'm blind." Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have 2 eyes, the world is mine. Later while walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue He stood and watched the others play He did not know what to do. I stopped a moment and then I said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?" He looked ahead without a word. And then I knew, he couldn't hear. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have 2 ears, the world is mine. With feet to take me where I'd go. With eyes to see the sunset's glow. With ears to hear what I would know. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I've been blessed indeed, The world is mine. If this poem makes you feel like I felt, just forward it to all your friends, after all, it's just a simple reminder.... We have soooooo much to be thankful for!!! "Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire, If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don't know something, For it gives you the opportunity to learn." "Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you're tired and weary, Because it means you've made a difference." Surya NarayananRef: Boban and Molly Group Labels: Abraham.G draft 6/9/10 by georgekurian (Republished)

World Of Wisdom: Forwarded By Thomas Philip Ranni
( Mr. Thomas Philip, our Senior Editor has found another treasure in literature)Prayer For Courage
Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not look for allies in life's battle-field, but to my own strength.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved, but to hope for the patience to win my freedom.
Grant that I may not be a coward, feeling your mercy in my success alone; but let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.
-Rabindranath Tagore

GOD'S POWER OVER DEATH: REFLECTION BY PRAYER AID
While he was saying this, a ruler came and knelt before him and said, "My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live." Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples. Matthew 9:18-19
When we think the world is closing around us, or we feel lonely and depressed, it is a time we are experiencing the dark side of life. That is the time, we need to turn to Jesus and hold on to His Hand that can change the circumstances of our life. Only that Hand has the power to control and overcome all the negative things that are happening to us. Only the strength and power of that Hand can give us the power to walk in darkness knowing that He walks with us. Let us not be discouraged or over thrown by our problems, if we look back on our lives, we will become aware that it has been during the problem times, that we have grown in faith, and experienced the Love of God.
Let us trust rather than become upset over what confronts us today.
(Thanks Jane for stressing the importance of abandonment to God's will. Very good reflection!)
