REAL PRESENCE

From His Sacrifice of perfect love
when Jesus died for you and me,
He is present, ever near us
it’s where He wants to be.

Upon each altar daily
He repeats His Sacrifice,
to show us how He loves us
He gives us food that does suffice.

In the form of wafer-white
and red as ruby wine,
He gives to us His Body, Blood
His Soul, His presence so divine.

Then He waits in majesty
for us to come to Him and share,
our prayers, our joys, our sorrows
our each and every care.

We must become like mirrors
reflect the Father’s Love to all,
and keep within His presence
He will heed our every call.

THE TEARS OF MARY

If we could see the world today
through the eyes of Mother Mary,
we’d understand the reason
her tears fall, because we tarry.

We heed not her tender pleadings
we answer not her call,
she knows what’s about to happen
she wants to save us one and all.

We are all her little children
her healing balm she will impart,
when we are consecrated
to her pure, Immaculate Heart.

She will tend us in that garden
removing all our evil deeds,
and pollution of this cold world
like so many toxic weeds.

We’ll become her perfect roses
gathered for her perfect Son,
watered by the tears of Mary
when the new day has begun.

HEAVENLY PAUSE

When in times of deepest prayer
all my love with Him I share,
my soul is light with holy leaven
He elevates me close to heaven.

I rise and soar with love afire
to be with Him my one desire,
to gaze into His precious face
all life’s cares He does erase.

He greets me with arms open wide
nothing can ever stem the tide,
of joy and peace, true happiness
He fills me with His tenderness.

Lifted higher and higher as we meet
I fall in humility at His feet,
He gives me forgiveness for all my flaws
and thanks me for my heavenly pause.
