Spiritual Reflections

Do not be Afraid. Never, ever give up on hope. Never doubt, never tire. Do not be Afraid

I would like to invite each of you to listen careful to God’s voice in your heart. Listen to his voice. Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. Open your hearts. Open up your hearts to Christ. The deepest joy there is in life is the joy that comes from God and is found in Jesus Christ the son of God. Jesus is the hope of yours. He is my hope. He is the hope of the world.

Have no fear. The outcome of the battle for Life is already decided, even though the struggle goes on.

You young people now know that Life is more powerful than the forces of death; they know that the Truth is more powerful than darkness; that Love is stronger than death.

Never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire. Do not be Afraid

Pope St John Paul II

Hymns from Trinity College

Hymns from Trinity College

Lo! he comes with clouds descending,
once for favored sinners slain;
thousand, thousand saints attending
swell the triumph of his train.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
God appears on earth to reign.

Evry eye shall now behold him,
robed in dreadful majesty;
those who set at naught and sold him,
pierced, and nailed him to the tree,
deeply waning deeply waning
shall the true Messiah see.

Those dear tokens of his Passion
still his dazzling body bears,
cause of endless exultation
to his ransomed worshippers:
with what rapture…with what rapture…
gaze we on those glorious scars!

Yea, amen! let all adore thee,
high on thine eternal throne;
Savior take the power and glory,
claim the kingdom for thine own.
O come quickly, O come quickly;
Alleluia! come, Lord, come.
Amen

The Angel Gabriel . Most highly favored Lady

The angel Gabriel from heaven came
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame
All hail said he thou lowly maiden Mary
Most highly favoured lady. Gloria!

For known a blessed mother thou shalt be
All generations laud and honour thee
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold
Most highly favoured lady. Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
To me be as it pleaseth God she said
My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name
Most highly favoured lady. Gloria!

Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
 In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn
And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say
Most highly favoured lady. Gloria!
