Come, Holy Spirit

Replace the tension within us with a holy relaxation. Replace the turbulence within us with a sacred calm. Replace the anxiety within us with a quiet confidence. Replace the fear within us with a strong faith. Replace the bitterness within us with the sweetness of grace. Replace the darkness within us with a gentle light. Replace the coldness within us with a loving warmth. Replace the winter within us with Thy spring. Straighten our crookedness, fill our emptiness, dull the edge of our pride, sharpen our humility, light the fires of our love, quench the flames of lust. Let us see ourselves as Thous seest us, that we may see Thee as Thou hast promised, and be blessed according to Thy word: Blessed are the pure of heart, for the shall see God. (Damien-Dutton Society for Leprosy Aid, Inc. 616 Bedford Ave, Bellmore, NY 11710)

In The Beginning . . .

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1 -NIV)

My walk in Faith is this journey I will be documenting here.  I hope that you (my visitor(s)) will enjoy your visit(s).  Please keep in mind that I am a practicing, loyal, Roman Catholic (a "convert" from the Lutheran faith in 1996), therefore, I would welcome you to comment and share, but without argument.  This blog isn't for you, if you are seeking to "save" me or criticize the Catholic Faith (or any faith, for that matter).

I keep you all in my prayers.
