Deliver Me:
Lord, my Rock,my fortress, my deliverer.Deliver me from myself!The self that does for others what they should do for themselves.The self that takes things personally, as much as I try not to.Deliver me from self-pity,let me forgive those who trespass against me.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
In thee, O Mary, is fulfilled an original purpose of the Most High. He once had meant to come on earth in heavenly glory. But we sinned. And then he could not safely visit us, except with a shrouded radiance and a bedimmed majesty, for he is God. So he came himself in weakness, not in power. And he sent this creature in his stead, with a creature's comeliness and lustre to suit our state.
- Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890)
