WORD OF GOD/A READING
Her eyes are fixed
upward
where she is greeted by Everlasting Love
with Divine and open arms…
where she is reminded with every breath,
there is so much to who you are,
my dear, my dear,
there is so much more to who you are.
-Morgan Harper Nichols, All Along You Were Blooming
THE REFRAIN
My soul waits, more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning. Psalm 130:6 ESV
PRAYER
O Christ Jesus,
When all is darkness
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust in Your protecting love
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.
-St. Ignatius of Loyola
CONCLUSION
Maranatha. Come, Lord, come. Maranatha. Come, Lord, come.
