There is No Time of Life

Search for Me

'Come, Lord Jesus,
to look for Your servant,
to search for the
tired sheep...
long have I
awaited Your arrival...
Come to me,
for I am disturbed
by the incursions
of the ravening wolves.
Come to me,
for I have been
cast out of Paradise...
I have wandered far from the herd grazing on the heights... You had placed me there,
but the wolf roaming
by night drove me
away from the fold.
Come to look for me,
for I too am seeking You.  Search for me,
find me,
gather me to You,
carry me....'

St. Ambrose

In Soft Repose the Night

Maker of all things, God most High!

Great Ruler of the starry sky!

Who, robing day with beauteous light, 

has clothed in soft repose the night.

Feeling Hungry?

Divine Scripture is the feast of wisdom,
and the individual books are the various dishes.

Simply This..

"The whole
realm of nature
is his
who has
God
for
his Portion."
