“O KING OF ALL NATIONS
and keystone of the Church
come and save man,
whom You formed from the dust!”
“The soul glorifies the Lord,
when it consecrates all its inner powers
on praising and serving God
and when, by its submission
to the Divine commands,
it proves that it never loses sight
of His Power and Majesty.
The spirit rejoices in God, its Saviour,
when it places all its joy
in the remembrance of its Creator,
from Whom it hopes for eternal salvation.”
St Bede the Venerable (673-735)
Father and Doctor of the Church
“Come, O come, for without Thee
there will be no happy day or hour
because Thou art my happiness
and without Thee, my table is empty.
I am wretched, as it were, imprisoned
and weighted down with fetters,
until Thou fill me with the Light of Thy Presence,
restore me to liberty
and show me a friendly countenance.”
Thomas à Kempis CRSA (1380-1471)
(Book 3 Ch 21:1,4-6)
