Buona Domenica...

 

Good Sunday!

"Sunday is the core of our civilization, 
dedicated to thought and reverence."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

 
"What does Sunday, the day of the Lord, 
mean for us?
It is a day of rest and for the family
but first of all a day for Him."
Pope Benedict XVI

This Hymn can be sung to the tune used for
The Glory of These Forty Days
 
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer.
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known!

In seasons of distress and grief 
My soul has often found relief ,
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.

"Do not let Sunday be taken from you. 
 If your soul has no Sunday, 
it becomes an orphan."
