TODAY’S WORD…

.

I will boast only in the Lord;
let all who are helpless take heart.
Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness;
let us exalt His name together.

.

I prayed to the Lord, and He answered me.
He freed me from all my fears.
.

Those who look to Him for help will be radiant with joy;
no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
He saved me from all my troubles.

.

– Psalm 34:2-6 (NLT)

PRAYER…

You are amazing, O Lord my God!

I find it difficult to describe You,

to put in words all that my soul has to say about You.

.

Yes Lord, my soul magnifies You,

and my spirit rejoices in You my Saviour,

and I exalt Your Holy Name!

.

Lord, You give me life

well beyond an ordinary existence.

You give life in fullness,

and abundant of Your grace.

.

You give hope,

even when all may seem lost.

.

I trust in You, my God,

and You…You are here,

with me,

always.

.

You hear my pleas,

and You reassure me deep inside

…and You save me from all my troubles

and lift me up.

.

Your hand leads me

along the path You set for me,

and I shall gladly follow.

.

Thank You for Your love, O God.

Thank You for the joy You bring.

Thank You for the peace.

Father, thank You for everything.

.

Amen.

YEAR OF FAITH 2012-2013

FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

Every joy and suffering, every event and need

can become the matter for thanksgiving

which, sharing in that of Christ, should fill one’s whole life:

"Give thanks in all circumstances."(1 Thess 5:18)

.

[CCC 2648]

.

.

Prayer of praise is entirely disinterested

and rises to God,

lauds Him,

and gives Him glory for His own sake,

quite beyond what He has done,

but simply because HE IS.

.

[CCC 2649]
