Jesus Christ, you are my life-alleluia! 
                          Our hearts are restless until they rest in you
                               Be still and know that I am God....what do you mean, be still and know?

God is our refuge and strength...
                                       engage a powerful and mighty God
He wants to speak, change, move you...allow yourself to stand before Him and be stilled in His love

I can hear the angels singing-Alleluia...
                                                       I come to share my little way...God is so faithful
it was a holy place...I wanted what they had...you pretend you are eight years old and then you point what you want!

I invited Jesus to come and sit with me...wonderful Holy Spirit is in each one of us

inside the rainbow, you'll find them all there...tenderly loving our Lord
worship our Lord...
                           sing His holy name

the gifts He's given you, the gifts he's given me, He's not gonna give them to somebody else
                                        I will go afraid...He healed me...and I have never been afraid again

I knew your name before you were born...I'm open...use me
                                     Jesus is present in the Blessed Sacrament and He's waiting for me

we can fly like eagles...imagine an hour glass...we don't have forever...

Christ has no body, but yours...yours are the eyes through which He looks with compassion on the earth
                   All things pass away...God never changes...I exalt thee Lord...purify my heart, let me be as gold

Be holy...nothing ocmpares with you!

different strokes for different folks...
God is good...celebrating new life...celebrating everyday life...celebrating past life

the meadow, under the sea, the pond, the hot air balloon...

Kleenex!

Gad has different ideas for us than we do..
                                               the doors were there for easy escape...
                                                I was called for a reason

more Kleenex!

take the time to listen...

the greatest journey you'll ever take is the eighteen inches from your head to your heart

I was overwhelmed in the cereal isle...
                                                   who am I? - who are you?

the joy and the light in the faces of those women stays with me...
                                                       my heighbors were my family...
                                                                                                  a cup of tea!

Celtic Spirituality...small...deep...rich...balanced

Our souls blossom in darkness...a transcendent wisp of light

some longings can only be fulfilled in communion with other women

listen to the heart beat of God in each other...

have you seen 'em up here north of 54?

servants of the mystery, not masters of the future...
                                                                      cup of tea...or whiskey!

every person is Christ personified...nor shout...nor rush...but hush, for God is here

apathy...indifference...injustice upon one is injustice upon all

what you believe in your heart will show on your face

scatter your blessings...child of my life
                                 what a great place to pick up chicks!  
                                                trials are the measure of His love...Jesus, I trust in you

I didn't know what to pray...lean into Jesus...from light to lighter

use the talent I have given you for the greater glory...
God saved us all

offer my suffering up for the redemption of souls...

don't waist your pain

God is love...Shine Jesus Shine...Lord I lift your name on high

take each moment live eacn moment in peace eternally...
                                                                  how beautiful is the Body of Christ
keep Him in the hallow of your hand...You raise me up to more than I can be

lead me Lord...lead me Lord today...act with justice...love tenderly...serve one another...walk humbly with God
we are bathed in the glory of God...all are welcome in this place

I go before you always, come follow me

I have called you each by name.  I love you and you are mine

it's His love that changes everything...
                                                              they lived princess hearts in this not so fairytale world

not because of who I am, but because of what you've done
not because of what I've done, but because of who you are

I am yours...how good, the good God!

I am okay...a colorful ray in the rainbow...hands...geet...it's not all about me...
                       we are the Body

it's awesome to see something blossom

I am with holy women...
the only difference between us and the women at the cross is that we wear jeans!

God answered our prayers...God works miracles...

it's okay that your husband is not your soul mate

come on in for a cup of tea!

Be still -  Let God

I am Catholic because of the ritual, tradition, community

I am not going home with anxiety...I am not going home with fear
                                               I'll sing like David sang - I'll dance like David danced!
