St Gregory of Nyssa
The power of God is capable of finding hope where hope no longer exists, and a way where the way is impossible.
2 Cor 4: 16-18
Therefore, we are not discouraged; rather, although our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.
For this momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
as we look not to what is seen but to what is unseen; for what is seen is transitory, but what is unseen is eternal.
Drawn To Her Across The Bay
Gentle breeze gliding across the bay
making the blades of my paddle play.
your hands dear Mary in the warm moving air
soothe my shoulders and caress my hair
as I guide this kayak to you
waiting on the shoreline’s hew.
The warbler's song so calming
the scent of the pines enticing
more delightful is your love that draws me
to this shore where in your arms I’m free.
Sweeter is your love than maple syrup
Your eyes more radiant than sunsets
O Tower of Ivory under the moon
O Mystical Rose forever in bloom.
ACTS 4:11-12
"This Jesus is ‘the stone that was rejected by you, the builders; it has become the cornerstone.’ There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among human beings by which we must be saved."
