In Remembrance
by Ragan Courtney and Buryl Red

In remembrance of Me eat this bread
In remembrance of Me drink this wine
In remembrance of Me pray for the time
When God’s own will is done

In remembrance of me heal the sick
In remembrance of me feed the poor
In remembrance of me open the door
And let your brother in, let him in

Take eat and be comforted
Drink and remember too
That this is my body and precious blood
Shed for you, shed for you

In remembrance of me always love
In remembrance of me don’t look above
But in your heart, in your heart
Look in your heart for God

Do this in remembrance of Me
Do this in remembrance of Me
In remembrance of Me

From World Magazine’s blog:

They have agreed on one thing: each will read—as objectively as possible—one book recommended by the other. Now, how to choose that one book!

In the comments, a number of readers compiled a great reading list for the rest of us.

There is a solution to your problem. There is a path out of your plight. There is a dream for the discouraged and a hope for those with none.

“It makes us look like bad people, but we’re really just a bunch of kids who never had a chance to grow up.”—Brian Welch

Any image can be remade. Any life can be transformed. Transformation goes well beyond an image make-over. There’s a line that’s been drawn. Cross it and your life will be transformed.

The world is full of people seeking power, prestige and position over others. Obvious in their words, their manners and their unwillingness to listen, these are the ones leading “lives of quiet desperation.” If only those with all the answers understood how little they really know!

MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.—Thomas Merton
