“Your Face is all lovely and Your heart all inviting,
but my thoughts alas! go wandering far from You.
Come, O God of my heart,
gather together my scattered mental powers
and fix them upon Yourself.” – St
Gertrude
"We come to Holy Mass to hearken to the words of
the Word, to be wounded by them, to be espoused by them in such a way that, as
the one Body of Christ, we are drawn upward with our Divine Head to the Father
in the Holy Spirit. A listening Church will be one in which Saint Paul
Dom Mark Daniel Kirby
Prior of Silverstream Priory
Stamullen, County Meath, Ireland
Blessed Elisabeth of the Trinity
prayed:
"O Eternal Word, Word of my God, I want to spend my life in
listening to You, to become wholly teachable that I may learn all from You.
Then
through all nights, all voids, all helplessness,
I want to gaze on You always
and remain in Your great light."
