PRAYER OF ST. AUGUSTINE c2019
August 28 - The FEAST OF ST. Augustine of Hippo. The Little Sisters of the Assumption follow the Rule of St. Augustine which insists that the community must live in harmony, "being of one mind and heart on the way to God." The most fundamental message of the Rule is this:
Love -- love of God, love of neighbour. This is the heart of Christian life.
There are many famous prayers and quotes attributed to St. Augustine such as:
"Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul."
"You have created us for Yourself. Our hearts are restless until they rest in You."
Our founder, an Assumptionist priest, left us a model of prayer based upon St. Augustine's prayers:
"My God, I place myself in the hands of your will, for Your glory and the salvation of my neighbor. Show me what I ought to see. Inspire me with what I ought to say. Support me in what I ought to do. Amen"
Based on these thoughts, some years ago I was inspired to write this song:
PRAYER OF ST. AUGUSTINE
C2019 Annette Allain
O God, O God, You alone I love.
O God, O God, You alone I follow.
Heal and open my ears that I may hear your voice, O God, O God.
Heal and open my eyes that I may see your will, O God, O God.
O God, O God, You alone I seek.
O God, O God, You alone I am ready to serve.
Tell me where to look that I may see you, O God, O God.
And I will place my hope in doing your will, O God, O God.
Amen Amen Amen Amen

The fintanol in them made him crazy. Long and short is he got arrested and we are all alive and safe. But he needs to be filled with the Holy Spirit and saved from his sins, which have ensnared him. Please pray for him and for us. Jesus is coming soon!

      This is the same group of Cistercian monks from St. Joseph's Abbey who recorded albums in gregorian chant. They continue to use both latin and english for their prayer. The English version with guitar has enabled many to appreciate the psalms of compline in a language they comprehend. I consider this a gift as it enables people to pray in a manner which has meaning for them. Whatever the language or melody used, the psalms of compline remain the same.

      @annetteallain 7 місяців тому

      Thanks for reaching out. Originally sung by Celtic Thunder, this song is about a boy's relationship with his father - it shows how the boy needs his father's support. -- From sonichits.com/video/Damian_McGinty/A_Bird_Without_Wings The lyrics of Damian McGinty's song "A Bird Without Wings" describe the feeling of being incomplete, lost, and lonely without a loved one. The comparison to a bird without wings or a child without a mother highlights the depth of this feeling of emptiness. Despite the sadness and longing that the absence of the loved one brings, there is hope in the idea that they are watching over and protecting the person who is missing them. The lyrics express gratitude and appreciation for the presence and guidance of this person, who is the light and the guide, making everything in the world beautiful and complete.
