Lenten prayer

No meats,
Except fish.
No sweets,
Nor rich dish.

Pray more
To the Lord.
Read more
Of His Word.

Write briefly,
Think chiefly
Of others,
And love.

Jesu juva! :)

Give me Grace!

Cold, hot
Hungering, numb
Believing, doubting
Loving, distrusting

Lord, spit me not out of Your mouth!
I want Life; I see and feel death.
Give me Your Grace to always choose Life
In You!

Lemons

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
When life gives you lemonade, make a lemonade-stand and sell it!
When life gives you a lemonade-stand, hire others to run it, and buy a lemon grove!
When life gives you a lemon grove, tend it well and give others lemons! :)
