A faithful friend
is a sturdy shelter.
She who finds one,
finds a treasure.
— Sirach 6:14

Blessed are you, |
I carried you |
From my blossoming youth |
|
Do not return evil for evil. |
Remember the deep root |
You can trust God |
The favors of God |
|
(Naked I came from my mother's womb |
All life is holy. |
There was a time |
Do not let your heart |
|
My grace is enough for you |
Beauty |
Deep waters |
The king will answer) |
|
Remaining close to the |
I have called you by name. |
My entire attention |
God is in your midst |
|
Behold, |
For it was you who formed |
For it was you |
The people who walked in darkness |
|
A good person produces good |
Lead me to your holy mountain, |
Now in the people |
When shall I go |
|
Athirst is my soul for God, |
Everything is full |
It is finished in beauty. |
Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee |
|
The Reign of God is within you. |
Here comes that dreamer! |
O Earth, wrap me |
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light. |
|
How blessed are they |
Does one really have to fret |
Love never ends. |
Do not be anxious about life. |
|
Constant has been my hope in you. |
"I was six when I saw that everything was God, and my hair stood up, and all," Teddy said. "It was on a Sunday, I remember. My sister was only a tiny child then, and she was drinking her milk, and all of a sudden I saw that she was God and the milk was God. I mean all she was doing was pouring God into God, if you know what I mean." |
The lot marked out for me |
On you |
|
Last night, as I slept, |
Dry bones, listen to |
O come, |
All the way to heaven |
|
As swimmers dare |
There must be no limit |
Do not hide Your face; |
O my Strength, |
|
God is the friend of silence. |
God touches all |
Blessed are the pure of heart; |
Do not let your heart |
|
What I learned of the divine science |
God gave their land as a birthright, |
Caught up in your beauty, |
May God bless you and keep you; |
|
O God, |
Whoever follows me |
Every day |
Only goodness and kindness |
|
In a dark time, |
Give thanks to God, |
Where there is no vision |
For I have learned, |
|
Look at the birds in the sky. |
Ten thousand flowers in spring, |
Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees. |
For once you were darkness, but now in God you are light. |
|
It is you alone |
Be dressed for service and have your lamps burning ready. |
All of you |
God saw all God had made, |
|
The creative forces of the world |
Truly, God has worked |
They are like trees |
Teach me your ways |
|
I am like an olive tree, |
Our days pass away; |
Let everything that has breath |
You changed |
|
Be still |
God has made |
The bright dawn |
Say to those |
|
Behold, |
Eye has not seen |
I am the door. |
God covers you with his feathers |
|
We do not need |
To see a world in a grain of sand |
Your love is better than life. |
The heavens are yours, |
|
Give thanks to God. |
Day after day |
My soul waits for you; |
You love those who search for truth. |
|
What else have I in heaven but you? |
To you, O God, |
Commit your life to God, |
Send your light and your truth; |
|
It is good to proclaim your love |
When God brought Israel |
I kept my sin secret |
As parents are tender with their children, |
|
Happy are those who love God… |
Caught up in your beauty, |
You will show me the path of life, |
Guardian of the orphan, defender of the widowed, |
|
Though I walk in the valley of darkness, |
What else have I in heaven but you?
Apart from you I want nothing on earth. My heart leaps for joy for you, O God, are my portion forever. Psalm 73 |
