and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.
With something more than me; Myself by every measure is An insuffieciency My onliness is loneliness. Dear GOD, I don't ask much~~~ Only to feel there's something That praying I can touch In me and with me and find strength More than my own, So in the solitude of self I need not walk alone ...
Where there is hatred, let me sow love; ...where there is injury, pardon; ...where there is doubt, faith; ...where there is despair, hope; ...where there is darkness, light; ...where there is sadness, joy; O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek ...to be consoled as to console; ...to be understood as to understand; ...to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; ...it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; ...and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Fill my heart with Thy holy gifts. Let my weakness be penetrated with Thy strength this very day That I may fulfill all the duties of My state conscientiously; That I may do what is right and just. Let my charity be such as to offend no one; And hurt no one's feelings; So generous as to pardon sincerely Any wrong done to me. Assist me, O Holy Spirit, In all the trials of life, Enlighten me in my ignorance; Advise me in my doubts, Strengthen me in my weakness, Help me in all need and embarassment, Protect me in temptations and Console me in afflictions. Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, And pour Thy light into my heart, My soul, and my mind. Assist me to live a holy life And to grow in goodness and grace. Come Holy Spirit: with Thy light~ With Thy grace~ With Thy strength~ With Thy consolation~ With Thy charity, That I may be made worthy To live a life of holy love.
Surround us with the love that burns at early dawn. O faithful Cherubim, of chariots burning bright, Dispel the gloom of sorrow that renders dark and night. O Thrones, the true foundation of Heaven's Mighty Ones Grant us the gift of living in everlasting calm. O bright and true Dominions, who bring order to chaos Guide us in righteous living and from the darkness free us. O Virtues, hope undying of courage and true grace Show us the shining pathway that leads to God's embrace. O Powers of the Almighty, the guards of Heaven's gate Guard us from all the evils that hurt and desecrate. O Principalities, who sing with every bell Bring guidance to our leaders and peace unto the world. O Archangels, Hosts of Heaven, deep in our souls create The light of true compassion so love becomes our fate. O Angels our true guardians, help us redeem our story So we may share with you the joy of Heaven's glory.
I might do better things, I was given infirmity that I might do greater things; I asked for strength that I might achieve, I was made weak that I might learn to obey; I asked for riches that I might be happy, I was given poverty that I might be wise; I asked for power and The praise of men, I was given weakness To sense my need of God; I asked for all things that I might enjoy life, I was given life that I might enjoy all things; I got nothing I asked for But everything I hoped for ... Inspite of myself, My prayers were answered~~~ I am among all men Most richly blessed."
