Joy

PRAYER FOR PEACE:  Monday,  January 9th, 2012 9am P.S.T.

FOCUS:  Joy

Beloved, let us never forget Thy Love,

But to dwell therein whatever we do,

Whether we sleep or wake,

Live or die,

Or rise again to the life that is to come.

For Thy Love is eternal and everlasting;

For this is eternal;  to know Thee.

O let its Flame never be quenched in our hearts.

Let it grow and brighten, till our whole souls

Are glowing and shining with its Light and warmth.

Be Thou our JOY!

Always…

For happy are we if we continue in the Love

Wherewith Thou has Loved us;

Blessed are we when we LoveThee steadfastly.

Therefore, Beloved, Whose name and essence is Love,

Enkindle our passions,

Enlighten our understandings,

Sanctify our wills,

And continue to fill all the desires of our hearts.

For the sake of Love.

Forever…

Amen.
