Hope Shone Forth

December 1st, 2022 at 00:37 am » Comments (0)

Hope shone forth from an infant child,
in the manger that cold dark night.
In humility, God himself appeared mild,
yet His plan moved forth in all its might.

Salvation to humanity was born;
the angels could not help but sing.
This Infant Child would bear our scorn;
the newborn Sovereign King.

Helpless was mankind in sin
until the star shone forth its light.
Our salvation to begin,
bringing hope to the contrite.

The sin we bear has shown us guilty,
under the righteousness of God.
Our defense is proven faulty,
as He sees through our façade.

But this Child would fulfill
the law that we could not.
And by our sin, His blood we’d spill
to pay our debt and take our lot.

There is no guilt, which can’t be cleansed;
the darkest stains can be removed
When His Grace has been dispensed,
by Jesus Christ, in Him approved.

Let us worship the infant child;
born, a life, to set us free.
With His grace, upon us smiled;
infant born of sovereign decree.

– D. Eaton –
Happened upon this poem maybe a year ago – truly a “reason for the season” inspiration.







Art Inspired Meditation

March 24th, 2021 at 00:01 am » Comments (0)

Learn to meditate on paper.
Drawing and writing are forms of meditation.
Learn how to contemplate works of art.
Learn how to pray in the streets or in the country.
Know how to meditate not only when you have a book in your hand but when you are waiting for a bus or riding in a train.
Above all, enter into the Church’s liturgy and make the liturgical cycle part of your life–let its rhythm work its way into your body and soul
– Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation

Memorial Day – Observed

May 24th, 2015 at 09:41 am » Comments (0)

Memorial Day – originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service of the United States of America.

God Bless America

God our Father, Giver of life, we entrust these United States of America to Your loving care.

You are the rock on which this nation was founded.

You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Reclaim this land for Your glory and dwell among Your people.

Send Your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation’s leaders.

Open their minds to the great worth of human life
and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom.

Remind Your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing Your will.

Through the intercession of Mary Immaculate,
Patroness of our land,
grant us the courage to reject the “culture of death.”

Lead us into a new millennium of life.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

SUPPORT New York – join KFI Operation Sandy Relief

November 7th, 2012 at 09:08 am » Comments (0)

KFI Logo As a NYer, born and bred, with family hard hit in the several areas of NYC, it has been gut wrenching to sit here and know there was little or nothing I could do.

Stressing that all clean useful articles are acceptable I hope you will take a moment to read the announcement of KNITTING FEVER’s Operation Sandy Relief. In the past KFI has “matched” donations for disaster relief here and abroad with the donations made thru its shops. This time its a lot closer to home.

I hope those who can will make cash donations to the charity of your choice,

That you will check with your local places of worship to see if you can aid them

and finally, I hope you will consider contributing to the KFI hope of warming our fellow NYers –
afghans, hats, mittens, scarves, shawls – used but in good repair coats – sweaters – quilts, blankets ALL are needed

With the first named North Easter named Athena, headed their way they need every bit of warmth we can send.

Whether you offer prayers or cash donations, or the work of your hands, all will be much appreciated.

Wheat
