O breathe on me, O Breath of God, Fill me with life anew, That I may love the things you love and do what you would do.
O breathe on me, O Breath of God, Until my heart is pure; Until my will is one with yours, To do and to endure.
O breathe on me, O Breath of God, My will to yours incline, Until this selfish part of me Glows with your fire divine.
O breath on me, O Breath of God, So I shall never die, But live with you the perfect life For all eternity.
O breathe on me, O Breath of God, Until my heart is pure; Until my will is one with yours, To do and to endure.

Every hour of every day in every place belongs to the Lord. While I may look forward to 'my' hour with the Lord, but I must remind myself it is HIS hour to do with us as He will.
Surely, his preference would be for the chapel to be filled with as many adorers who are called to return that hour to Him in adoration. He can, and He will, still speak an intimate word just for you...
If there is an hour I which you would like to adore, COME fill it for more Jesus! He is waiting for you. Contact Kathy Clark 203 816-7737 to enroll.

"Motherhood then becomes a kind of priesthood. She brings God to man by preparing the flesh in which the soul will be implanted; she brings man to god in offering the child back again to the Creator...she is nature's constant challenge to death, the bearer of cosmic plentitude, the herald of eternal realities, god's greatest cooperator." The Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen
