Planet Galilee
-----------------------

 

Purgatory


Where the fire

Cleans away the scale

Of our dirty journey!

 

Peace

The Joy of knowing

We could be Thine

If we wanted to be.

 

Saturday

Was the Day

Ireland raised

The Golden Crucifix

Over every nation.

The Anthem was

Played, the Love

Was, is and always

Shall be shared,

Life to be compared

Victory to be dared

Faith strong enough

To hold, the medal

Solid Gold.

 

Monday

It's Your Crucifix

Of all the colours in Heaven

And in earth

That keeps us TRUSTING

In better days begun.

 

Tuesday

Tuesday is always Just

Christmas.

 

Impatience

Slowly growing younger

We wondered when we would be old.

 

Destitution

There were many people

Who were with Christ

On Calvary.

 

Mother of Consolation

Our hearts You sustain

In your Reign,

Our souls you beautify

Miraculously.

Our bodies you rejoice

By the Tears in your voice.

 

Younger

Every day I grow younger

Because I'm growing up,

To thirty four.

 

Wednesday

Was the Day we were

Married to our work.

 

Thursday

Thursday was the day

We looked for

Security.

 

Friday

Friday was always the day

We found it.

 

Saturday

Saturday was the day

We sat down and laughed

At our own selves.

 

Sunday

Sunday was the day

We fell asleep

In Church.

 

Restitution

Love teaches fear

That begins Wisdom

Creating Peace in

Diligent Goodness,

Patient Eternal

Rest.

 

Eternal Rest

 

Guided by Thee

We pass into

Thee, Crucified

Reigning, absorbed

In Thy Holy Queen and Mother.

 

Tranquility

Amidst the stormy sea

An arm doth reach around

A God Who holds creation

In His Tiny Hand,

Hath kept us safely

On Land.

 

A Piece

In Thy Eucharistic world

We live and move and have

Our being.

Help us to curl up in Thee

As babies.

 

Respect

When we get hit

We cry, let alone die.

 

=======================================================================================

 

Suddenly it's Summer

 

 

Mercy

Crown of all Thy handiwork,

Fruit of Thy Kindness,

Reaching into lives

Preparing each one

To see Thee eternally,

In Thy Heavenly Home.

Helping us to belong to Thee,

As children, freely,

Through Thy Perpetual Sacrifice,

As Friends with Love that never ends,

Mends.

 

Improvements

 

While Thou hast remained

Graces have increased,

Thy Sacrifice has not ceased.

 

 

Hearts

In Thy worlds we live

And move and have our beings.

Unborn seeing Thy Goodness

Enfolded in Thy Three Hearts

Starts our Loving Thee and all,

Damaged by the fall, until we

Reach that Heavenly Beach,

Where all had it's beginning,

Trimming that we may help one

Another to have a more

Pleasant journey, unafraid to

Love all things made, redeemed,

Streamed.

 

Forgiveness

Knowing me and knowing Thee

And Thou knowing me and we,

Is it surprising that we all

Love one another?

 

Reason

Love that keeps Thee

Crucified, makes us

Stand back awhile

Contemplating where

To begin without

Ending, mending,

Blending, wending,

Pending Thy Good

Pleasure, Love without

Measure.

 

 

Trust

Knowing Thee we can Trust,

In Thy Love, Dove, Father, Mary's

Care for children without,

Thrown upon life's shore,

Poor, opening Thy Door,

To welcome us into Thy

Preparation for a Home with

Thee, as Thou desirest, free.

 

Brotherly Love

Descending upon Thy Children,

Thou givest Love for one another.

Thy Command to Love

Was strong, as Thou hast Loved us!

Only Heaven knows the depth.

But Thou providest for what

Thou hast commanded and we

Shall be happy to pray to love

As Thou hast wept.

 

Sermons

Feeling low, a word that knew

Our need, encouraging us to

Receive our meed.

 

Mercy

 

Crown of all Thy handiwork

May we receive piece by piece,

For Thy thoughts of us

Shall never cease until

Thou shalt proclaim Peace..

 

Duty

 

Learning what Thou hast

Commanded we to teach all

Nations, relying on Thy

Abiding Presence all days,

Guide us in all our ways,

Free us from our haze,

Grant us Holy Mays.

 

Original sin

 

Our nature, so unloving

That you wanted

Us to be in simplicity,

Loving Thee truly

Innocently like the

Holy Angels happily.

Help restore that

We may love Thee

More and more.

 

Doubts

Sometimes we forget

That Thou art close,

Watching and hoping

For a word of Love.

Always attentive to

Our needs, giving

Us Guardian Angels,

Sending down The Holy Dove.

Forgiving us each

Day and night, help

Us to Love Thee

And one another

Aright.

 

Rock of Love

 

Love that fills

Our darkened minds,

Increase and multiply

In all our ways.

Through all the days

As Thou remainest

From wandering ways

Do Thou detain us.

And keep us deeper

In Thee, Mary, Joseph

Most happily.

 

Joy

 

Peace and Joy Thou gavest

To girl and boy, but when

As parents married by Thee,

It's a labour of Love to restore

That innocence necessary to Thee adore.

 

Peace

Souls Thou created, restored

Into Thy image and likeness,

Refining into Thy

Gentle Thoughts,Words, Deeds,

Are grateful for the earth

And all Thy Gifts, Thy invisible

Guardian Angels, shifts, hours of worship,

Sleep and lifts in difficult times,

Climbs, mimes for our deaf souls,

Fish in schoals, learning to earn merits

Avoiding tolls.

 

Goodness

Infinite Divine, changing

Water into wine into Thee

Substantially.

 

Peace

Peace, what a Gift

From shift to shift,

Tumbling down from

The stars sanctifying

The tars, blessing

The mars, educating

The Shahs,

What other name

Could explain,

Thy simple

Love.

 

Father

Father of mine

So courageously patient,

Longanimous, tireless,

Fireless I bend before

Thee bathed in tears,

With peers soaking up

Fears accumulated through

Skating years, unhooking shears

To polish Thy Garden of Paradise

Bequeathed so kindly, finely

Measured, treasured.

 

Peace

Goodness and Love

Truth and Tenderness,

Rescuing souls from

Any mess, Divine Pelican

Teach us to fear Thee and Love.

 

Return

Coming from above, The Dove

Consoling, Teaching, breaching

The darkness, softening the

Cross of starkness, espousing,

Providing, guiding, in Thee we

Confiding, abiding, firmly trying

To learn.

 

Goodness

Descending to us,Innocence

Thou wouldst restore to make Love

Grow, more and more.

 

Communicating

The Father by The Dove,

The Son returning Love,

In Thee, we,

Learning to be.

 

Love

Love creating ad extra,

A world for Himself

With His Children,

Called it, Mother.

Another with forests

And fires, water and dust

Called it earth, a Place to be of birth

Mirth and great worth.

Day by day,

We can Love

Everyone, Thy sweet Way.

To Thee and one another

Thou hast made us

A wiser brother.

Excesses Thou dost trim.

 

Daughter of the Father

That men call

Thee, kindly

When Thou art

Our Friend and

Treasurer of all

Good.

A Mother to

Souls seeking

Our Father.

 

What could be

Said before we

Are dead and

With Thee eternally,

But Pray for me

And all sinners

Now and at

The hour of

Our dying,

Shying, wining,

Dining at every

Moment, Mother

Of God and sinners,

Ringers, wingers

Bringers, flingers,

Clingers.Amen, but

Love be every

Moment Thine

That Thou deservest,

Conservest.

 

Sacred Heart

Jesus Jesus Jesus

Torn between two

Thieves, offering both

Everything. Only one

Not ourselves?

Inviting Thee!

Overcome our guiltiness

With Thy Sweet Words

And grant us the Peace

Of dying for very Love

Of Thee.

To live with each other

And Thee alone.

In our exile from Thee,

May bring us to Thee

Most mercifully,

Safely.

 

Mercy

Atoning for our sins,

Like a good Father

For His children,

We can Love Thee

More correctly and one

Another.

 

Just

Less than nothings that we are,

Thou descendest in mildness

Because of Thy pain

Trying to keep us from stain,

A reward we may receive,

Lost by Adam and Eve,

Gained by Thee for we,

Lovingly.

 

Fish

Lovingly placing your

Creatures in easy circumstances,

Innocent short lives that glorify

Your generosity.

Returning to Thee

Making reparation happily

For Thy Son's Thrice

Plain, in the planes,

Rain on the trees.

Water flowing with ease

From Divine reservoirs

Reserved for times of need

Through Thy endurance

For two milleniums, remaining

Silent, solitary, pleading

For each one to receive

Everything from Thee

Wondrous Trinity.
