Daniel 7:15-27; Daniel 3:82-87; Luke 21:34-36

we hear
His words
of warning
and consolation
to be awake
and aware
always
of God’s Presence
ready to answer
the One who stands
before us
asking
How well have you loved?

How well have you loved?

Dn 7:2-14; Dn 3:75-81; Luke:21:29-33

visions
and dreams
come
ushering
a new era
of peace
and love
we have only
to read
the signs
of the times
to enter
turning away
from all divisions
that mark the earth
to see our unity
from above
and embrace it

How do you read the signs of the times?

Romans 10:9-18; Psalm 19:8-11; Matthew 4:18-22

called to follow
Jesus
we enter
the mystery of God
revealed
through His words
revealed
through the Holy Spirit
giving us Life
our souls
are refreshed
as we trust
in the abundant Love
He offers
our hearts
and souls rejoice
in His ways

Who do you follow?

Daniel 5:1-17; Daniel 3:62-67; Luke 21:12-10

handed over
because of our love
for Him
we do not fear
and persevere
enduring to the end
as all that is true
blesses God
sun and moon
stars of heaven
every shower and dew
all the winds
fire and heat
cold and chill
give glory
and praise
to God

How do you give glory and praise to God?

Daniel 2:31-45; Daniel 3:57-61; Luke 21:5-11

many will come
and say
“I am he”
but do not follow
although
the earth will quake
and nation
will rise
against nation
we will stay
with His voice
of love
and for peace
enduring
to God’s end
for justice

How will you know His voice?

Daniel:1-6,8-20; Daniel 3:52-56; Luke 21:1-4

from our wealth
and poverty
we give everything
withholding
nothing
from the God
who gives us
All
knowing
that all we have
is for a Glory
greater
than our own
a Love
a Light
for All

What do you give?

Ezekiel 34: 11-12, 15-17; Psalm 23; 1-6; Corinthians 15: 20-28; Matt: 25: 31-46

scattered sheep
we are lost
hungry
thirsting
naked
and ill
in need
of a shepherd
a guide
crushed in our
loneliness
our tangled webs
we are found
by his gentle hands
refreshed
overflowing
we face
the enemy
in our self
and are raised
to life
we feed
we clothe
we care
we tend
as we were
cared for
spreading
and nurturing
the kingdom
of love

Do you see your need?
Do you see the needs of others?
Do you care for these needs as you have been cared for?

1Mc 6:1-13; Psalm 9:2-6,16 and 19; Luke 20:27-40

rejoicing
in the Lord
we are saved
from sin
and suffering
and death
as we enter
the mystery
of His Risen Life
embracing
the offered peace
as our way
and love
of all
as God’s desire

How do you experience the Risen Christ?

1Mc4: 36-37,52-59; 1Chr 29:1-12; Luke 19:45-48

the earth
intended
as a house
of prayer
becomes
a den of thieves
until He comes
to turn the tables
and those who see
and hear
hang on to every word
for Truth
to restore
God’s will
for love
to the world

Where do you turn for Truth?

Sir 50:22-24; Psalm 145:2-11; 1Cor 1:3-9; Luke 17:11-19

in all
circumstances
we give thanks
to our God
who offers
goodness
and love
joy
and peace
to our lives
keeping us firm
even as we feel weak
showing compassion
and kindness
that we return
this day

How are you thankful in all circumstances?
