SUNDAY'S ANTHEM TEXT
O Lord of fire, of heat and flame, within whose eyes all are the same: though buildings burn and empires fall, we praise your name, O Lord of all.
O Lord of fire, of clouds and rain, of mountains green and fields of grain: since you fulfill our needs from birth, we praise your name, O Lord of earth.
O Lord of fire, of fruit and flower, of light and dark, of every hour: all blessings come from you above, we praise your name, O Lord of love.
O Lord of fire, of stars and sun, Creator God, all Three in One: through endless ages, peace and strife, we praise your name, O Lord of life.
(with congregation) O Lord of fire, of heat and flame, within whose eyes all are the same: though buildings burn and empires fall, we praise your name, O Lord of all. Amen.
BECOMING DISCIPLES MAKING DISCIPLES
There are many who want me to tell them of secret ways of becoming perfect and I can only tell them that the sole secret is a hearty love of God, and the only way of attaining that love is by loving. You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so you learn to love God and man by loving. Begin as a mere apprentice and the very power of love will lead you on to become a master of the art. - Francis de Sales

HUMORESQUE
Shortly after the birth of their second child, a husband offered to take his wife shopping for a new dress. He endured more than two hours of listening to her complaints about which figure flaw each dress accentuated. As she emerged from the dressing room, having tried on the last selection, she asked for her husband's opinion. By this time he had learned just the right things to say. "It's perfect!" he exclaimed. "It makes your waist look smaller, your legs look longer, and slenderizes your hips." Just then another lady in the dressing room spoke out. "If there is a dress here that will do that, I'll buy them all!"
