All to My All: Haiku #29: Joy x

Joy.

Pleasure is a snare -
the mire of concupiscence!
The lust of the flesh...

Joy is in the soul -
our thirsting for life's fullness!
The cloth of virtue...

Wedding feast
of our LORD!

My Favorite Quotes

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."
- Annelies Marie Frank

"In the third Christian millennium, our one family of the nations of suffering mankind will be guided by the light of a universal moral order or in the absence of true light there will be nothing left but a vacuum of peace and the unforgiving darkness of war, replete with all it's attendant evils".
- Maximilian Mary

"A Christian without prayer is like a soldier without a rifle".
- Maximilian Mary

"If you pray well, you will live well, if you live well, you will die well, if you die well, all will be well".

"It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart."
- Annelies Marie Frank

"Too late, have I loved Thee, O Beauty so ancient and so new, too late have I loved Thee! Thou wast with me, and I was not with Thee; I was abroad, running after those beauties which Thou hast made; those things which could have no being but in Thee kept me away from Thee. Thou hast called, Thou hast cried out, and hast pierced my deafness. Thou hast enlightened, Thou hast shone forth, and my blindness is dispelled. I have tasted Thee, and am hungry of Thee. Thou hast touched me, and I am afire with the desire of thy embraces."
- Saint Augustine

"When you are at the end of your rope you will find the hem of His garment."
- Anonymous

"I'd rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out that there isn't than live as if there isn't a God and die to find out that there is."
- Anonymous

My Prayer for My Anne

O FATHER of mercy and of love, in the deepest, darkest depths of despair, You have blessed me with a special friendship: The very first star in the firmament of the darkest night of my life.

You gave me Annelies Marie Frank, O LORD, as a light against despair. The first glimmer of hope that leads to faith in things everlasting and unseen.

Loving Father, thank you so much for blessing me with a friend as precious as Anne. Grant me, O LORD, I humbly pray, the love to cherish her now and forever.

AMEN.

Amen.
