Merciful Eyes Poem 28

Merciful Eyes

Lord, we all lost the sense of sin,

The evil trying to deceive each one of us

He is tempting even the chosen ones

We do not know what to do next

Devil is conquering our entire safe haven, your Churches

Which you prepared for your sons and daughters

We neglect the holy structure of the Churches

Instead we make Concrete structures without Dome or Alter

We neglect everything pleasing to you

We forget what our Early Fathers taught us

We all refused to do what is sacred and precious

Lord, I come to you, and pleading to you, forgive us our sins

Lord, I am zealous of your love

My heart is burning by Your love and mercy

Lord, few are concerned about Your love

Lord, few are concerned to keep Your commandments

Lord, you called many, but few are chosen

You called me from the ends of the earth

A place where no one knows about You

Lord, but Your mercy and grace fall upon me

God, why have You finally rejected us

Your anger blazing against the flock You used to pasture

How long, how long will you be silent on our enemies?

They are shouting at us by their arrogant words

Remember the people you took to yourself long ago

Your own tribe which you redeemed on Mount Zion,

Where You came to live with us

Lord, come look into this endless ruin, enemy done to us

The enemy has sacked everything in the sanctuary

They dispersed us from Your Temple

While we pray in front of Your Holy Sanctuary

They set fire to Your Sanctuary

The enemy has many plans to destroy us

But, You have a plan for each one of us

That is our salvation; hear on earth and in Heaven

Many are called and few are chosen

Lord, You looked at many from the Cross,

To see, anyone is seeking Him

You looked into the eyes of the Centurion

He said, surely, You are the Son of God

Lord, You looked into the eyes of Peter,

He is sobered and cried bitterly of his sins

Lord, You looked into the eyes of the blind man

He was cured, his eyes are open and praised God

Lord, You looked into eyes of Mary Magdalene,

She was repented, cried and kissed

And washed Your feet by her warm tears

Lord, look into my eyes, wash me and cleanse me

Lord, come and abide in us

Lord, let us prepare a place for you

You only need our repented heart

Look into our eyes with your merciful eyes

St. Cecilia my beloved....

Poem—27 

Feast Day on 22nd November

Oh Saint Cecilia My Beloved …….

Oh, St Cecelia my beloved....

Oh, St. Cecelia, God’s Heavenly dove,

Holy martyr of God’s Eternal Kingdom

God sent you to save the sinners for his eternal glory,

As a burnt offering to the Lord our Saviour

            The fires came down from heaven,

            To sanctify your body and soul for His Eternity

            As a sweet smelling sacrifice to our Lord

            We offer you, in the Alter of our God Almighty

Oh, St. Cecelia, our patron saint of music

Pray for us and teach us the way, of praising God

Pray for me to make music to our God

Till the end of my days, in this mortal world

            The mountains are singing in the silence of the night

            The rivers are singing with the roaring sound

            The birds, beetles and nightingales are singing with joy

            As we join with you, by singing and praising God

Oh, fearless lady and wonderful teacher,

Of heavenly soul of Truth, Jesus our Lord

Let heaven and earth praise His Majesty

For such a wonderful gift from His Mighty Throne

Oh, beautiful virgin of God’s own Temple

And a mirror in graces of our heavenly Mother

Pray for us, oh, heavenly dove, heavenly dove

And guide us the way, to His Eternity

           

Lord, let heaven and earth are rejoicing with such wonderful gifts of saints, you are giving us to experience your kingdom. We give thanks to you and glorify you till the end of our days in this world Amen!

Lord, I love your Sanctuary Poem 26

Poem 26

Lord, how precious is Your Sanctuary to me
But we neglect Your presence there
This is the situation of our soul
Come Lord, to live and abide in us

Lord, You are the prisoner of love in the Tabernacle
You come to visit us in the form of Bread
Which You share with those whom You love
You welcome anyone who approaches You with repentance

Lord, how can I love You wholeheartedly?
Make my heart like Yours to love You
Lord abide in me to carry Your love in my heart
Cleanse my heart by Your Precious Blood

Lord You are living in the Mighty Body of the Church
As well as living in those humble and pure of heart
Lord I look into your heart to seek a place to live
To abide in your love and in life everlasting.

Lord I love Your Sanctuary where you reside
But we, our wretched hearts do not value Your presence
I see, David Your servant honor You in everything he did
God You found in David a man after Your own heart,

Lord I am weak and lowly and not worthy of anything good
But You chose me from the ends of the earth
Where no one  lives according to your will,
Everyone choosing their own ways for salvation

You are my salvation my Lord and my God
You never abandoned me even when I lived in the desert
But Your love carries me on even though I am a lonely traveler.
Lord, how long, how long must  I travel to reach You eternally

The Triumph of the Cross Poem 25

Poem 25

Jesus made everything new by shedding His own blood and established the New Covenant. The law given to Moses is renewed and given perfection to it. Jesus said: “This cup is the New Covenant in my blood poured out for you.”Lk. 22: 20. He abolished the old structure of law and made it new by giving his love and mercy. He poured his grace upon all humanity.

Lord, Your Cross has brought the fruit of life
The fruit which is the symbol of Everlasting Life
Lord, for us its a way to salvation
And also is the power of God.

Lord, we wants to follow You whole heartedly
Lord, let me renounce myself
To take up my cross everyday and follow You
Lord, this is the way of Cross we meets eternity

Lord, let me embrace the narrow way
The way to destruction is very wide
Lord, let me not choose the way of this world
But, those who suffer will find eternal life

Lord, from the Cross You brought the salvation
But for the foolish men, the message of Cross is folly
Lord, You shed all the blood of Your Body
Lord, You were nailed on Cross by the soldiers

Lord, You suffered for us with great love
And made an example to follow Your steps
Lord, You were done nothing wrong
You were not spoken any kind of deceit

Lord, You were insulted
But, not retaliated with insults
When suffered, You made no threats
You trusted the upright Judge in Heaven

Lord, You were bearing our sins
In Your own Body on the Cross
So we might die to our sins
Through Your bruises, You have been healed us

Lord, You wiped away the record of our debt
You were destroyed it by nailing it to the Cross
Your pain and sorrow was our malicious sins
But You crushed everything on the Cross

Lord, You stripped the sovereignties
And principalities of the heavenly places
They are the masters of this world
And all the ruling forces of this world

All these evil were tempting You
You gathered all of them to be paraded in public
They all were behind You on the way to Calvary

On that triumphal procession

Lord, let me boast only Your Cross
Through You the crucified I found salvation,
You poured out the Blood and Water
And filled us with Your Love and compassion.

Jesus asked Peter, Do you love me? Poem 24

Poem  No 24

Jesus asked Peter, do you love me?
He is asking me and you, 'Do you love Me?'
With a grievous heart, Peter replied:
Yes Lord; You know that I love You

Peter denied Jesus three times
Jesus asked Peter three times, do you love Me?'
love always forgets, because God is Love.
Peter cried bitterly, when he realised His love

Lord, the love You have towards us
Makes us strong to defend our faith in You.
Your love towards me, taught me many things.
How can I thank You for Your love poured upon me?

Lord, Your love makes me cry before You.
The love towards You,
Made Abraham prepare a table for You
Yahweh, You were pleased by his hospitality.

You blessed Abraham with a son, Isaac.
But You tested him, for his love towards You.
He proved his love, and obeyed God's Word
And took his son Isaac to offer God, as a burnt offering.

Lord, the love towards You,
Made David a great composer of Psalms.
He never ceased to praise You and Honour You
He sang songs and danced in front of Your Ark of the Covenant

Elijah zealously loved You,
His love towards you, made him a great prophet
Lord, You gave Elijah a disciple called Elisha
obedient of both his master and God.

Because of Elijah's jealous love
Lord, you brought famine on Israel.
By the Word of The Lord, he shut up the heavens
He even raised the dead by the Word of the Most High

Lord, Your love towards Elisha
Made him learn the ways of God,
Lord you gave him the spirit of Elijah
When Elijah was taken to heaven in the Chariots of fire.

Lord, Your most beautiful love towards us is shown
When You gave Your only Son's life for us as a sacrifice.
It is hard to find anyone prepared to die for someone upright.
So it is a proof of God's own love for us, that Christ died for us sinners.

Lord, out of Your love towards us,
You gave us Your own flesh as our Eternal food
Your gave us Your own Blood as our Eternal Drink
By shedding Your Blood, your Heavenly Father made the Everlasting Covenant.

St Paul prayed, 'What I pray kneeling before the Father,
From whom every fatherhood, in heaven or on earth takes it's name
Lord, through Your Spirit, enable us to grow in power in our innermost-self
And let Christ, live in our hearts through faith.

Lord, let Your love planted in our heart and built on love grow
And let all God's holy people have the strength to grasp
The breadth and length, the height and the depth
So, that we may know the love of Christ is beyond our knowledge
That we may be filled with the utter fulness of God.
Glory be to Him whose power working in us can do more than our imagination
Glory be to Him, from generation to generation
In the Church and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen

Passion of Christ Poem 23

Poem 23

Lord, I betrayed you for thirty Shekels

That was the mere price we gave

Lord, I kissed You to sell You to the Jews

You asked me, "Do you betray me with a kiss?"

Lord, We put a crown on Your head of thorns

Lord, we pressed it harshly on Your head

The blood was oozing out over Your face

None was there to console you

Lord, We bound You on a pillar and scourged You

But, You never shed tears with pain

The flesh of Your body was torn apart

The bones can be seen through the holes in Your body

You were beaten and crushed for our sins

And You never opened your mouth

Now I trembled and feared as you suffered

Lord, I repent for my sins with flowing tears

Lord, We mocked You, by speaking evil words

But, You did not utter a word against us

Lord, We spat on Your face willingly

But, You gave a smile towards us

Ours were the sufferings You were bearing,

Ours were sorrows You were carrying,

But we thought of You, as someone being punished

And struck with affliction by God

The punishment reconciling us fell on You

And we have been healed by Your bruises,

We had all gone astray like sheep, each taking his own way,

The Father in Heaven poured out His wrath for our rebellion upon You

Like a lamb led to the slaughter-house,

Like a sheep dumb before its shearers

You never opened Your mouth.

Forcibly, after sentence, he was taken

We put the Cross on Your shoulder

You had no strength to carry the burden of the Cross

The heaviest burden of all was our sins, You were carrying

By falling and rising, You carried the Cross to Calvary

At last we pierced Your holy hands with cruel nails

The pain was so extreme and agonizing

Then we pierced your sacred feet with nails 

Lord, I could feel Your pain and it was horrible

Although, You had done no violence,

You spoke no deceit or complaint

It was Yahweh’s good pleasure to crush You with pain;

But You bear all suffering patiently

Lord, You carried our sickness and diseases

Lord, You offer Your Body as our Divine Food

And You offer Your  Blood for us as our Divine Drink

Lord, Your mercy lead us to eternity

While You were hanging on the Cross You saved the contrite criminal

He repented and asked You the favor to remember him

Lord, You offered him Paradise before he died on the cross

Oh, merciful Lord, remember me in Your Kingdom

From the Cross You told Your Mother "this is your son"

Then You told John "this is Your Mother"

Lord, give me Your Mother to embrace her

Bless me Lord, to accept her in my home

Lord, You cried out from the Cross

Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani

"My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?"

Then You made a loud cry and took the last breath

We all were watching and wailing

The veil of the sanctuary was torn into two

The four other women, Your beloved near You

Watching and crying, carrying the pain in their heart

Which of Your contemporaries were concerned about this?

You have been cut off from the land of the living

You have been struck dead for Your people’s rebellion.

You were given a grave with the wicked

Lord we thank You and praise You for Your everlasting love

May we glorify You and bless till the end of our life.

Lord, You gave us many blessings Poem 22

Poem 22

Lord, You gave us many blessings
But, we never used them for Your glory and honor
You gave us many, many huge churches
But, ravens and scavengers use them as their dens.

Lord, You gave us many Priests to serve us
But we never respected them,
Instead we mocked them and all Your holy people
Then we lost You and all Your Kingdom.

Lord You invited us, to gather around Your Table
To share Your holy meal, which You transformed
On the Altar of Crucifixion, where You are the only Victim
To pour out Your love for me and for many.

Lord, You shed Your Most Holy Blood as our drink
And Your Body was torn apart and pierced by nails
To make it our Most Holy spiritual Food
Have mercy on us Lord, have mercy on us.

When we gather in front of Your Altar
Where Your Priests perform the sacrifice of Body and Blood
Lord, we are cleansed by Your Holy Water
To make us, Your sons and daughters.

Lord, do not take away Your glory from Your Altar
Lord, let us all keep the fear of You when we come to Your Temple
Lord, take away all our anger and hatred from our heart
Towards our brothers and sisters and even from our enemies.

The smoke of burned incense from the Altar was taken to Heaven with our prayer
The Heavenly Angels and Saints are in great joy and in fear
To watch the most Holy Sacrifice of Mass
Lord, with great reverence, we all kneel before Your Holy Altar.
