Saturday Fourth Week of Lent 2011

Mass Readings for today are here

Reflection for Saturday is here


This is the time of Lent when things get really hard...... and I am acutely aware of getting nowhere.... In fact I'm stuck.







I'm feeling out of place .....
and I've been having dreams about bones, valleys of dry bones...













SONNETS TO ORPHEUS: II, 12 (stanza 1) 


Desire change. Be enthusiastic for that flame
in which a thing escapes your grasp
while it makes a glorious display of transformation.



That designing Spirit, the master mind of all things on earth
loves nothing so much in the sweeping movement of the dance
as the turning point. 


Not usually my kind of music but there was something about the lyrics in this one that seemed to apply ...





On Fire by Switchfoot
 
They tell you where you need to go
They tell you when you'll need to leave
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be
But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire
When He speaks
You're on fire
Burning at these mysteries


Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be... (near You)
Cause everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take

When I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
And I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries
These mysteries...


I'm standing on the edge of me [x3]
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before.
And i've been standing on the edge of me
Standing on the edge

And I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
(Yea) I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries... these mysteries... these mysteries
Ah you're the mystery
You're the mystery
