EASTER

EASTER

by

J. A. Fullerton

 

They will destroy this temple

And in three days I will build it up

For I am willing to drink this cup

My Father's will must be done

For I am Christ His only Son

 

I have come down from above

To show mankind My Father's love

I have come that man might live

Upon a cross My life I give

 

On Easter Sunday morn I rose

From the dead, the third day I chose

They destroyed the temple just as I said

My body was the temple that rose from the dead

 

Now all mankind has been set free

The gates of heaven have been opened by me

So follow the way of My church

And the gates of heaven you will find

In your search.

 

 

GOD THE FATHER

GOD THE FATHER

God the Father I do love you

All glory and honour belongs to you

My God you have always been

Long before the world was seen

You created everything

You are much more than a king

You created satan and he did rebel

Then you sent him straight to hell

It must have really really broken your heart

When he became a little upstart

Aways see I keep my place

And please always keep me chaste

For Adam committed the very first sin

Then into heaven none of us could get in

Oh how I love you Father dear

For you I could shed a tear.

SAINT MONICA

SAINT MONICA

by

J. A. Fullerton

 

Saint Monica was married but not very happy

For her husband was violent and often very snappy

Her habit of prayer would make him see red

But by her sweetness and patience to God he was led.

 

Among the wives and mothers of her own native town

She exercised great influence on those troubled and housebound

For they knew she suffered in all like they did

And by her word and example for their soul she made a bid.

 

Saint Monica gave birth to three children as well

And her hardest task was stopping the eldest from going to hell

For Augustine was wayward and fell into grievous sin

But by the loving care of a mother his soul she did win.

 

A holy bishop told Monica to allay all her fears

"For no child shall perish after all of those tears"

And Augustine was turned from a life that was taint

To become a priest then a bishop and finally a great saint.

TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME

Everyone of us has a cross to bear in life. The heaviest cross anyone has ever had to bear was Our Blessed Lord. His mission on earth was the salvation of mankind. The purpose of his life was death on a cross as this was His Father's way by which mankind was to be saved. Nobody else has ever had so much suffering to endure when others tried to crush His spirit.
There are many things in life people don't like and causes them much suffering. Jesus realized this and He just asks us to bear our crosses willing and trust in Him. Mankind is made in the image of God and this is the only way one can attain happiness. It is pointless to think that bringing in things such as same sex marriage will make things any better. Problems that gay people may have with their sexuality is just another cross they have to accept. If one wishes to live a happy life you do not have any other choice but to accept your cross and trust in Jesus.

 

TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME

So you want to find contentment in life

And you want to minimize all suffering and strife

There is no other way it can be done

Than to take up your cross and follow God's Son.

 

Many, many others have had their say

But I can tell you there is no other way

All other things that people do

Will fade away because they're not true.

 

As in Russia where the Russian sword did bend

There was no truth, let's not pretend

And all of communism will never last

It's almost gone a thing of the past.

 

So take up your cross and follow God's church

Then you will never be left in the lurch

Take the steep and narrow road

Accept your cross accept your load.

THE BLUE ARMY OF OUR LADY

by

J. A. Fulllerton 

Prayer and penance are a greater force

Than tanks and bullets you know of course

This special message was revealed to all

At Fatima before Russia has its fall 

Our Heavenly Mother brought this message from God

So use this message as your rule and rod

And pray the Rosary for peace in the world

And offer up your sufferings so missiles won't be hurled.

The blue army of Our Lady has victory in sight

For it is governed by God and all His might

So raise your banner for you are not alone

Christ the King on earth has ascended His throne.

PRAYER OF SAINT THERESE OF THE HOLY FACE

October 1 is the feast day of Saint Therese of the Holy Face. Today people complain about every little detail in their lives. Saint Therese  welcomed her sufferings and she had many and looked  upon them as a blessing for she realized just how much Our Blessed Lord had suffered for us. She died at the tender age of 24. The way the world is today, if you live in a world free from war, have your stomach full and a roof over your head you really can't complain.

PRAYER OF SAINT THERESE OF THE HOLY FACE
Jesus who in thy bitter passion didst become the reproach of men and the man of sorrows, I venerate thy holy face on which shone the beauty and gentleness of divinity. In those disfigured features I recognize thine infinite love and I long to love thee and make thee loved. May I behold thy glorious face in heaven.



YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWS YOUR NEEDS

Heart of Jesus I adore thee, Heart of Mary I implore thee, Heart of Joseph pure and just, in these three hearts I place my trust.
When on earth Our Blessed Lord said many things. One thing that came through more than anything else was that He has our interests at heart and He wants us to believe in Him. If we don't obey His laws and trust in Him He is unable to help us. In the end it is the choice between the power of good and the power of evil. The spirit of God helps us and the power of evil will eventually destroy us if we let it. The world is far to complex to go it alone. We need to place our trust in Our Blessed Lord.

 

 

 

YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWS YOUR NEEDS

by

J. A. Fullerton

How am I to pay all the bills?

I need to take a few more pills

Things at work aren’t real good

I won’t lose my job will I? - ‘knock on wood.’

School fees are going up all the time

I think I need a bit more wine

And there is so much today

To lead my son and daughter astray

The price of everything is rising

I can’t cope, it’s not surprising

But only if we could recall

The words Our Blessed Lord did say

When He preached down here on earth one day

“The birds of the air your Heavenly Father feeds

And your Heavenly Father too knows your needs”

So have faith in your heavenly Father above

And just send Him all your love.
