18 Aug
So we may have life
Take Him, His Body and Blood
Be nourished and live
All God's children come
To whom the Kingdom belongs
In outpouring love
God calls us to love
To communion as we can
Faithful and stable
Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Great Testimony
God's love for humanity
Mary's prototype
-Feast of St Maximillian Kolbe
Solely in the will
Essence of the love of God
Not in just sweet words.
Shoulder of Jesus
Carry me when I'm astray
Back into Your fold
Son of Man will die
Will be raised on the third day
So shall His foll'wers
11 Aug
We're all united
In One Living Bread, One Cup
The Body of Christ
10 Aug - St Lawrence
The seed dies as seed
God loves a cheerful giver
Limitless blessings
-St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
Just take up your cross
In losing your life in Christ
Gain eternity
