EVENING Reflection

Examination of Conscience

-What have I done wrong?
towards God, self and others?

-What have I done right?

-What could I have done better?

Psalm 51 (Miserere)
Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God


51:1 Have mercy on me, [1] O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!

3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right [2] spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.

13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will return to you.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
O God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

SERENITY PRAYER

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

buutan kaayo si TS masking ga mug-ot sa picture..heheh

let me find that book. maybe that's what i need to...

OT..mao ni isa sa mga kanta nga makahilak ko..

(Verse 1)
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Verse 2)
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, all of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Bridge)
What can we give
That you have not given?
And what do we have
That is not already yours?
All we possess
Are these lives we're living
That's what we give to you, Lord

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
Lord I offer you my life

kani pud tawon...catholic ko peo ang it's complicated nako ug ang akong friend nga born again nag-introduce ani nga hillsong...

"Who Am I"

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You're

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

HAPPY FEAST DAY FATHER ELIJAH.

St. Elijah (Elias) the Prophet, Patron and Spiritual Father of the Carmelite Order.

"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse."— Malachi 4:5-6

Reflection

Prophet Elijah prayed to God to light the fire in front of the Prophets of Baal & the people of Israel to prove them that the God he worshiped is truly the GOD of Israel. Today, in this modern world, how can we be "Prophets of Modern Times," how can be creative in proclaiming God's word? Get to know St. Elijah.

You may check my blog post
Enfant de la Grâce ~ God's little flower: These are the days of Elijah


Elijah's Prayer at Mt. Carmel


“O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, prove now that you are the God of Israel and that I am your servant and have done all this at your command. Answer me, Lord, answer me, so that this people will know that you, the Lord, are God and that you are bringing them back to yourself.”
1 Kings Chap 18:36-37


"THESE ARE THE DAYS OF ELIJAH"


We are all called to be saints, disciples and prophets of God.

Ayy...ako nalang e change ako photo uy hehehe

Yes, I started with that book "Story of a Soul" naa na sa Carmelites available, available pd sa St. Paul but ang sa Carmel ilaha kay ang Critical Edition jud, murag the official translation of her French Autobio. Isa kasi xang Pranses hehe

At first sa mga pila k chapters I dunno taleg ma annoy ka sa yang pagka spoiled, stubborn na pagka bata but later on ma lingaw raka niya.

She's known to be the stubborn Saint.

Because of that book / her book she became a SAINT. hmm nganu kaha? It's up to you to find out! She was just an ordinary cloistered nun who joined the Order of Discalced Carmelites at the age of 15 and died of TB at the age of 24. She emphasized that, you need not to do great things in order to become a Saint but simple deeds and task done with great love can advance you to holiness.

You will surely learn a lot from her! Go to her!

"As long as you believe Roses shall rain from the skies!"
here's a vid I made dedicated to St. Therese and the devotees of St. Therese

‪Prayer of St. Therese of the the Child Jesus "You fill my Heart"with lyrics‬‏ - YouTube
(song was composed when her relic came to visit our country) (I wasn't able to see the relic for I have no idea kinsa na siya before.


Therese Martin, 8 years old.
The Stubborn Saint.

PRAYER OF ST. THERESE

A Morning Prayer

O my God ! I offer Thee all my actions of this day for the intentions and for the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart, my every thought, my simplest works, by uniting them to Its infinite merits ; and I wish to make reparation for my sins by casting them into the furnace of Its Merciful Love.

O my God ! I ask thee for myself and for those whom I hold dear, the grace to fulfill perfectly Thy Holy Will, to accept for love of Thee the joys and sorrows of this passing life, so that we may one day be united together in Heaven for all Eternity. Amen.



Died at the age of 24.

Pray for us St. Therese!
