Grace and happiness
(Psalm 22 or 23: 6)
Grace and happiness accompany me every day of my life.
“All is grace.”
God’s breath is renewed each morning
when I wake up.
I go to meet Jesus in the Blessed
Sacrament.
An act of thanksgiving in the daily
Eucharist.
A total surrender into the hands of the
Father,
The Son and the Holy Spirit.
An act of faith in divine Providence.
What a blessing and what joy!
I lift my eyes to the sky and
I contemplate the splendor of the day.
I let myself be enveloped by the
sunlight.
My whole being trembles with the warmth
of the sun.
A sense of tenderness in my soul
and
A deep peace in my heart, knowing that I
am loved.
What a blessing and what joy!
The mission begins.
My daily tasks are waiting for me.
The clamor of the world reaches my ears.
My work becomes prayer.
I lift up to heaven my desires for peace
in this world.
I thank the Lord for His peace that
surpasses all understanding.
What a blessing and what joy!
The Lord hears the cry of his people.
He is not deaf. He bears the suffering
of the World.
His heart is pierced once again as He
looks upon the world.
He is saddened and wonders how long it
will take for
His people to become peacemakers.
His cross becomes so heavy to bear.
He sends workers into the harvest.
There are not enough of them.
He needs more workers because the
harvest is abundant.
What a blessing and what joy!
Jesus ‘cross is carried by the
multitude.
Simon, the first, was compelled to help
Jesus carry his cross.
Today, there are so many Simons in the
world.
So many Simons who help Jesus carry His
heavy cross.
To follow Jesus is to carry His cross
with Him.
To follow Jesus is to carry my cross
with Him.
I carry my cross with Him, in Him, and
for Him.
What a blessing and what joy it is to
know
I am in the arms of the Father and the
Son.
Yes, blessing and joy accompany me every
day of my life and
I will dwell in the house of the Lord
My whole life long.
