Morning Offering given
Jesus take me as I am
Summon out what I should be
Set your seal upon my heart
Holy Spirit dwell in me
Village quiet
Coffee good
The house is silent, all still sleep. Was hard to get moving this morning when I woke. The weekend had been so full of weddings and work. Looking forward to the normal Monday events.
Happy Birthday RY
In the Catholic tradition, we ask St Joachima (founder of the Carmelite Sisters of Charity), St. Ephrem (ordained deacon but refused ordination to priesthood, teacher, defender of the faith, prolific writer, refuted heresies of his day often through lyrics of hymns he had written), St William of York disputed election as archbishop of York and mysterious death, and St Getulius (Roman Army Officer who resigned when he became a Christian) to pray for us.
