Praise to the Lord the Almighty

Praise to the Lord . HYMN

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him, for he is my health and salvation!
Come, all who hear; brothers and sisters draw near,
join in glad adoration.

Praise to the Lord, who in all things so wondrously reigning;
sheltering thee under his wings, and so gently sustaining!
Has thou not seen all that is needful has been
sent by his gracious ordaining?

Praise to the Lord, who will prosper thy work and defend thee;
surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
if with his love he befriends thee.

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!
All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him.
Let the Amen sound from his people again;
Gladly forever adore him.

GOD

St Joseph the Worker

“Don’t worry about being effective.
Just concentrate on being faithful to the truth.”

“You will know your vocation by the joy that it brings you.
You will know. You will know when it’s right.”

“Tradition! We scarcely know the word any more. We are afraid to be either proud of our ancestors or ashamed of them.” .. “Tradition” says GK Chesterton “is democracy extended through time. Tradition means giving the vote to that most obscure of all classes, our ancestors.”
