Our Morning Offering – 1 February – Saturday of the Third week in Ordinary Time, Year A
I Will Love You Lord
By St Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
Mellifluous Doctor
I will love You, O Lord,
my Strength,
my Stony Rock
and my Defense,
my Saviour,
my one desire and love.
I will love You
with all the power
You have given me –
not as much as You deserve to be loved,
for that can never be
but as much as I am able to.
The more power to love You give me,
the more I will love You.
Amen

I Will Love You Lord
By St Francis de Sales
“Whatever happens, Lord,
You who hold
all things in Your hand
and whose ways
are justice and truth,
whatever You have ordained for me…
You who are ever a just judge
and a merciful Father,
I will love You Lord….
I will love You here,
O my God
and I will always hope
in Your mercy
and will always repeat Your praise….
O Lord Jesus,
You will always be my hope
and my salvation
in the land of the living.
Amen

I will not measure out my love.

with all my strength,
with all my powers,
as much as I am able.
Amen
