I devoutly adore you, O hidden Deity,
Truly hidden beneath these appearances.
My whole heart submits to you,
And in contemplating you, It surrenders itself completely.
🔃The red carpet have been splendidly laid out for us,
🔃Because of the passion not easily, but with much fanfare & fuss
🔃We should appreciatively act, surrender totally, humbly walk or run up the red carpet to meet you The Lord
🔃Time to totally abandon ourselves & let down our guard
🔃You know that we are dust, you know us like a book
🔃But what is now seen will someday change, envisioned is what will be as you take another look
🔃Your great desire is to hug & kiss us clean
🔃Intense Jesus, is your interest in us, it's ever so keen
🔲 St. Thomas Aquinas:
Sight, touch, taste are all deceived in their judgment of you,
But hearing suffices firmly to believe.
I believe all that the Son of God has spoken;
There is nothing truer than this word of truth.
🔃That we who have an ear
🔃Then let us fail not to comprehend what we hear
🔃If we listen to God with the heart, we'll never be deceived
🔃Attentively with consistency the beauty of truth will always be perceived
🔃For truth totally sets one free
🔃Nothing else can be so liberating for you and for me
🔃It's impossible for souls united & abiding in Christ to fail in hearing His voice
🔃So well worth it for all of us to make the right choice
🔃The sheep needs to get to know the shepherd as the Shepherd knows His sheep
🔃That will happen as intimate company we begin to frequently keep
🔲 St. Thomas Aquinas:
On the cross only the divinity was hidden,
But here the humanity is also hidden.
I believe and confess both,
And ask for what the repentant thief asked.
🔃To have nothing leaves room for the hungry to be filled with good things
🔃 Incomparable in value to the likes of diamonds, jewels & even gold rings
🔃In walking spiritually by faith and not sight
🔃We'll experience God's power & His supreme might
🔃As another repentant thief we ask & hope to hear, just one word will suffice
🔃That this day we too can be with you as you reside in our heart's paradise
🔃No doubt, the sincere will truly receive God's generosity & much more besides
🔃What surprises are stored up for supple hearts where Jesus comfortably resides & abides
🔃Receiving Jesus in Eucharist, what a unique treat to be with Him in the paradise of one's own heart.
🔃Seize & treasure the Divine captive and never allow Him to depart
🔲 St. Thomas Aquinas:
I do not see the wounds as Thomas did,
But I confess that you are my God.
Make me believe more and more in you,
Hope in you, and love you.
🔃Truly without you we're in the shadow of death in stark darkness
🔃Swallowed by sin we descend further & further into a dreadful abyss
🔃But because we have the words of Jesus we can hope & truly believe
🔃Our Lord God have a sure remedy to save sinners, & for sin sick souls a healing balm to sooth & relieve
🔃At the Lord's table we are nourished & healing graces are lavishly granted us to
🔃Nothing provides life to our souls like the body & blood of Jesus, a unique gift refreshing us anew
🔃Great things can be accomplished in us if we let Him ignite a fire
🔃Saying yes allows the materialization of His every wish & desire
🔃It's a must, no matter what to keep on believing and hoping
🔃Trusting that things will be rightly ordered as we pray & live a life most holy & loving
🔲 St. Thomas Aquinas:
O memorial of our Lord's death!
Living bread that gives life to man,
Grant my soul to live on you,
And always to savor your sweetness.
🔃The past alive in the present, & perpetuating the future so mysteriously,
🔃Enraptured & enchanted ever so gloriously
🔃Saving Lord, enable us so intimately connect ourselves & be united to thee
🔃My God, my God, his precious you are to those who love you and for sure to me
🔃So sweet is our indulgence, a dwelling so richly afforded to each & every one of us
🔃There is nothing greater that could be granted, it surely appears thus
🔲 St. Thomas Aquinas:
Lord Jesus, Good Pelican,
wash my filthiness and clean me with your blood,
One drop of which can free
the entire world of all its sins.
🔃The blood bath is purposed with every soul in mind.
🔃A gesture offered, one ever so, so kind
🔃No sin can escape it's efficacy to sparkle & dazzle in brilliancy, transforming every soiled stained soul.
🔃Like a waterfall lasting for a life time, unlimited the times the repentant can return to become clean & made whole.
🔃For a lifetime, no depletion is possible so come one, come all unto Him
🔃Pleasing if it's planned or if it's spirit led on a whim
🔃Everyone,mcome let the blood saturate your soul to remove every stain, wrinkle & spot
🔃It will serve you well in this life & surely in the one to come, helping to change your lot
🔲 St. Thomas Aquinas:
Jesus, whom now I see hidden,
I ask you to fulfill what I so desire:
That the sight of your face being unveiled
I may have the happiness of seeing your glory. Amen.
🔃For the slave turned heir, for the brother now part of the heavenly family
🔃The beginnings of what it means to truly belong & live oh so happily
🔃The removal of the veil, vision sharpened by purity with eyes now able to see what is a sheer pure gift
🔃One affording the soul a gigantic spiritual uplift
🔃The fires of love, being ignited by desire will surely bring about the goodness & kindness of The Lord
🔃As all the days of our lives we'll be able to live united in love & in one accord
🔃On into eternity, may there be awaiting us the glory of God that unfolds for ages without end
🔃Causing a resounding unending Amen, Amen and Amen!
