You’re everywhere
I’ve been looking for You
in the beauty of nature and in my soul
in clouds and wind
and You’re everywhere –
You see a little blade of grass,
and the sudden closure of my eyelids –
You’re everywhere
because everything takes life from You
we just need to open wider our eyes
because You’re everywhere.
I’ve been looking for You in a silent, deep prayer
and there, Lord, I have found You…

Coming Home
I drift on an open ocean
am I cast away now?
Sometimes we can’t recognize each other
in what we have become.
We walk so many roads
the roads of learning to know us.
God, give us the eyes to see
the heart to feel it undoubtedly
the strength and courage to capture
the feeling of coming home.

You come to me
You come to me in the evening
at noon, in the morning
You choose the time You find right
Holy Spirit.
Sometimes You sit beside us
You bring this wonderful blissfulness
You hand us in some books
make order in our thoughts
prepare us for further journey.
The more I know You, the more I love You
You are the deepest in me
my most faithful Truth.
You walk with us wherever we go
hurt by our own sins
patched with Your love.
You – patiently always nearby
Lord, today I need nothing else
The Way simplest and most certain
You with a cross on Your shoulder
Lord full of mercy and good
happiness steadiest and whole
peace straight from heaven.
So much time I have wasted
running around my plans and desires
so long I’ve stubbornly stood
at the crumbs of my little fortunes
and only You are the way for me
the most beautiful Love
The One I did not deserve.
You’ve always been here
it was me who was leaving You
we have all eternity from You
every day anew
You – the Bread of Life
I will love You for ever and ever
merciful Son of the wonderful Father
wonderful Son of the faithful God.

The voice within me
I’ve been looking for You in so many places
and You’ve been here for the whole time
You’ve been the voice within me
The one calling to You.
My Love, my Truth, my happiness beyond compare
Life, the most certain Way
the most faithful Friend
with a heart wide open
with a heart like nobody else.
Every day I will give myself fully
change, Lord, burn down what needs it
breathe Your Spirit within me
Holy Host of eternal Life
Holy Host of the Living God.

The pain of detachment
Lord, teach me to let go those
whom I cannot keep
and help them to let me go
when I cannot stay. Amen

Love
You come from heaven to bring me Your love
I can’t stop thanking You when You are near.
I can’t stop telling You how much I love You.
You forgive us everything, You come so close…
You bring heaven into my room.
I’m never able to comprehend this
so I just thank You for how happy You’ve made me.
You find us wherever we get lost
You bring us home from every crossroad
You cleanse us from our sins
to purify our souls.
You’ve poured Your love within my heart
it burns within so strong.
I can’t comprehend why You’d come to me
I walk in Your Presence.
Lord, how much You love us!
How will I ever be able to give You anything
when everything that is good in me comes from You?
But all I can do is to give You myself
and You within me back to the Father
then that is love.
You lead us to the hills of heaven
You heal us, You save us from our sins.
You build Your temples in the depths of our hearts
that You make pure again.
You give so much love I can barely contain it.
The Love beyond this life.
You give to sinners the life of Your angels
and even Yourself
with You love has no limits.
We should love with all soul and heart
we should give all of ourselves
like we’re the only person on anyone’s path
like there’s no tomorrow.
And the more You show us Your love
the more we cry of happiness
Lord, we do not deserve You…
You love us so much, it’s hard to comprehend it.
A prayer
So let me sometimes
pray with silence
my work, my sacrifice
arms open like Yours
to all sides of the world.
We need to learn to rise
above everything.
Thanks to Your love
if the skies crashed tomorrow into the earth
I fear nothing.

Who am I, Lord?
Who am I, Lord
on the road I follow?
New lights
and new questions…
Who am I, Lord?
only You know
which path I should take.
Give me
heart pure again
heart, that wants only good
love, that will overshadow pain
the light of Your Will ahead of me.

The heaven of my soul
You are in every piece of me
with the blissful love of heaven…
I hold Your cross to my heart
this blissfulness wraps everything in me.
You dwell within me like a new heart.
I no longer wait for heaven
– You bring it over here.
Lord, I love you so much!
In Your love.
Lord, how You love us!
You hold us in such happiness
for nothing and so sudden
I am so amazed by this
You give and give constantly
You love and love forever.
Holding Your cross in my hand
You – my hope and strength
I am so amazed by You…
Your love burns within us like a little heaven
and I keep holding Your cross to myself
Yours is such an inconceivable love, and yet it is true …
God looks at the good intentions
I can do nothing just by myself.
You burn with such a flame
at the bottom of my heart and within my soul…
I am melting in love, I live in You
The heaven of my soul.

Good Friday
How can they laugh and play
the cars fill the streets
and such as then
all the noise around
– when they nailed You to the Cross.
Why will it all not just stop?
Why will it all not just die this moment with You?
We walk down the streets with a cross
on a Good Friday
we remind people of their One True God.

The springs of Living Water
Mysterious power
flows from You
little tabernacle, where God here resides.
The flames of love
flow everywhere
they sparkle up Your holy fire
within our hearts.
With the waters of baptism wash us
with love – heal
like scapular wrap us with Your Spirit
Jesus giving Life.

Eden
Not the pictures of the heavenly meadows
but the certain hope for the life with You
seeing You face to face.
Not some abstract eden, but the life eternal
in Your presence.
Holy Trinity Sunday
