My Lord and my God
I seek you at
dawn. My soul thirsts for you.
You renew the
face of the earth through your
Lights that illuminate my life and
the lives of
all those who recognize You as
Their God of goodness
and mercy.
I greet you my
Brother Sun.
You reveal to
me your God, our God.
In you, He is
like a living host wrapped in dew.
His heart
vibrates with love, and he beats the measure of his love.
Your sun
shines on the good and the wicked and
Your warmth
envelops me in God's tenderness.
Oh my Lord and
my God, how good it is,
To be blazing
with the fire of your mercy.
I greet you my
sister moon.
You reveal to
me your God, our God.
In you, He is
like a tongue of fire wrapped in silver.
This tongue of
fire renews the created, visible and invisible.
At nightfall
and in my dark places,
It hangs above
the earth and over me.
It only
illuminates our earth and rekindles my inner light.
Oh my God and
my Lord, how good it is to be on fire with your love.
I greet you my
star of Bethlehem.
You reveal to
me your God, our God.
In you, He is
the Way wrapped in light.
Your light
leads me into the manger of my heart to
Let myself be
loved, looked upon and sanctified.
My star of
Bethlehem, you lead me to
The path of
humility, the path of my humanity.
You lead me to
the place where I recognize God's humility.
Oh, how good
it is to be wrapped in God's humility.
My soul, bless
the Lord!
My heart
rejoices, the Spirit in me cries out Abba, Father!
You created
the universe, my God, my Love.
May your name be glorified!
You are the
Tree of Life that gives me life in abundance.
May your name
be sanctified!
Spirit of
light, you who never die,
Rekindle in me
the fire of Pentecost,
The fire of
hope and mission.
Spirit of the
Beatitudes makes my heart like
The heart of
God.
Spirit of
holiness comes into my heart to
Make your
dwelling place forever.
Amen
