O, Lord take into account the many things that we suffer as a result of a lack of knowledge! The worst of it is that we do not know more when we think about You, and so we cannot ask those who know. Indeed, we have not even any idea what there is for us to ask. That is why we have to suffer terrible trials, because we do not understand ourselves. Many times we worry over what is not bad at all but good, and sometimes think it very wrong.

~St. Teresa of Avila
Holy Mother Foundress of Discalced Carmelites.

One of my favorite prayers especially when I perceive unusual/demonic temptations



Prayer to St. Micheal the Archangel

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Latin Translation:

Sáncte Míchael Archángele, defénde nos in proélio, cóntra nequítiam et insídias diáboli ésto præsídium. Ímperet ílli Déus, súpplices deprecámur: tuque, prínceps milítiæ cæléstis, Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in múndo, divína virtúte, in inférnum detrúde. Ámen

Sa Carmelites ko naka memorize ani. English ra.

Lead me Lord.....

You may post the whole Lyrics of it
so that others may sing and at the same time reflect while reading your post.

[kajrot1]

here you go...

Lead me Lord, lead me by the hand
And make me face the rising sun
Comfort me through all the pain
That life may bring
There's no other hope
That I can lean upon
(Choro)
Lead me Lord
Lead me all my life
Walk by me, walk by me across
The lonely road that I may face
Take my arms and let your hand
Show me the way
Show the way to live inside your heart
All my days, all my life
[ Lyrics from: Gary Valenciano - Lead Me Lord Lyrics ]
Refrain:
You are my light
You're the lamp upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light
I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay
By Your guiding love
All through my life
(Choro)
Lead me Lord
Lead me Lord
Even though at times
I'd rather go alone my way
Help me take the right direction
Take Your road
Lead me Lord
And never leave my side
All my days
All my life
You are my light
You're the lamp upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light
I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay
By Your guiding love
All through my life
You are my light
You're the lamp upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light
I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay
By Your guiding love
All through my life
All through my days
Lead me, Oh Lord
Lead me Lord

Could You Be Messiah - Gary V.



Could You be healer
To a heart that's been wounded
In a battle that's never seen



Could You be teacher
To a mind of confusion
Tell me what does this all mean



Are You deliverer
Of an imprisoned feeling in chains
Can You set my spirit free


And just one more question
Allow me this question
Could You be Messiah to me
Could You be Messiah to me

Could You be father
To a soul that's been abandoned
By a world to busy to hear



Could You be friend
To a helpless survivor
Can You take away my fears


I heard them all sharing
This newfound conviction in them
Are You all that they make You to be

And just one more question
Allow me this question
Could You be Messiah to me
Please be Messiah to me

Now i've been looking for someone like You
And i'm so tired, i'm tired



I've read every book and i've sang every song
My mind maybe right but my heart feels so wrong
Tell me how much further can my life go along
Which way do the roads lead where do I belong...

Are You forgiver
Of my most unknown secrets
Provider of all that I need

Could You be brother
The one who knows better
Would You now stand in the lead





When all this is over all the thunder and lightning
In the daylight just what will I see
The answers to my questions to all of my questions
Could You be Messiah to me
Could You be Messiah to me
Could You be Messiah
Please be Messiah to me...

Hi, sis

Are you associated with a Carmelite Religious Community or something? (I hope you don't mind me asking ).....I'm a bit intrigue with those religious-spirituality book collections that you have, those are not the everyday books that one ordinarily reads if you know what I mean

[koralstratz]

This Psalm always give me hope and brings me closer to Our Lord specially during times when I feel so depressed.


Psalm 23




The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.


Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.


Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

Nope. I am not associated with them. I am not a secular OCD (Order of Discalced Carmelite)

Wala ra, not associated with any Religious/Secular Comm.

If you would to ask how it all started.
It's a long story but, bago ra pd wala pa koy 1 year na ing-ani hehe
To make short, it all started with this book "Story of a Soul" (Autobio of ST.Therese) then sunod2x nana.
