7 A true heart’s worship thou shalt have, thy just awards prompting me.
8 All
shall be done thy laws demand, so thou wilt not forsake me utterly.

פט. לְעוֹלָם יְהֹוָה דְּבָרְךָ נִצָּב בַּשָּׁמָיִם:
89 Lord, the word thou hast spoken stands ever unchanged as heaven. 90 Loyal to his promise, age after age, is he who made the enduring earth.
91 Long as time lasts, these shall stand, obeying thy decree, Master of all.
92 Lest I should sink in my affliction, thou hast given thy covenant to be my comfort.
93 Life-giving are thy commands, never by me forgotten.
94 Lend me thy aid, for thine I am, and thy bidding is all my quest. 95 Let sinners go about to destroy me, I wait on thy will.
96 Look where I may, all good things must end; only thy law is wide beyond measure.
89. In æternum, Domine, verbum tuum permanet in cælo.

94. Tuus sum ego; salvum me fac: quoniam justificationes tuas exquisivi.
צה. לִי קִוּוּ רְשָׁעִים לְאַבְּדֵנִי עֵדֹתֶיךָ אֶתְבּוֹנָן:

97 My delight, Lord, is in thy bidding; ever my thoughts return to it. 98 Musing still on thy commandments, I have grown more prudent than my enemies. 
99 More wisdom have I than all my teachers, so well have I pondered thy decrees. 
100 More learning have I than my elders, I that hold true to thy charge.
101 Mindful of thy warnings, I guide my steps clear of every evil path.
102 Meek under thy tuition, thy will I keep ever in view.
103 Meat most appetizing are thy promises; never was honey so sweet to my taste.
104 Made wise by thy law, I shun every path of evil-doing.
97. Quomodo dilexi legem tuam, Domine! tota die meditatio mea est.
צח. מֵאֹיְבַי תְּחַכְּמֵנִי מִצְו‍ֹתֶךָ כִּי לְעוֹלָם הִיא לִי:

106 Never will I retract my oath to give thy just commands observance.
107 Nothing, Lord, but affliction, never the saving help thou didst promise me?
108 Nay, Lord, accept these vows of mine; teach me to do thy bidding.
109 Needs must I carry my life in my hands, yet am I ever mindful of thy law.
110 Nearly the snares of the wicked caught my feet, yet would I not swerve from thy obedience.
111 Now and ever thy covenant is my prize, is my heart’s comfort.
112 Now and ever to do thy will perfectly is my heart’s aim.

116 Only let thy promised aid preserve me; do not disappoint me of the hope I cherish.
117 Only do thou sustain me in safety, looking ever to thy will.
118 Obey thee who will not, shall earn thy disdain; idle is all their scheming.
119 Outcasts they are that profane the land with wrong; for me, thy law is enough.

123 Pining away, I look for thy saving help, the faithful keeping of thy promises.
124 Pity thy own servant, and teach him thy decrees.
125 Perfect in thy own servant’s heart the knowledge of thy will.
126 Put off the hour, Lord, no more; too long thy commandment stands defied.

133 Rule thou my path as thou hast promised; never be wrong-doing my master.
134 Rescue me from man’s oppression, to wait henceforth on thy bidding.

June 13:




 If your eye causes you to sin Mt 5 27-32
   If we want to live as God would have us live, we must first know and understand God's commands for us. We must then decide in our hearts to obey the Lord.
   Through the gift and working of the Holy Spirit, the Lord writes his law on our hearts. He gives us his power to live his way of goodness and holiness.
   St Anthony of Padua is a good example of purity of heart. It was his privilege to hold the Child Jesus in his arms.  
   Do we trust in God’s love and allow his Holy Spirit to fill us with a thirst for holiness in every area of your lives?
  
Father, purify our thoughts, desires, and intentions that we may only desire what is pleasing to you and in accord with your will, through Christ our Lord.            

Happy Feast to you all!    N.

St. Anthony’s help 
to return man’s greatest loss—that of the Most Holy Divine Will.

6/13 – St. Anthony of Padua, Priest, Doctor of the Church

   
St. Anthony of Padua
St. Anthony of PaudaFeast Day June 13th.  He is a Doctor of the Church known for his miracles and being one of the greatest preachers of all times.  He is known as the “Hammer of the Heretics,” “Living Ark of the Covenant,” and “Wonder Worker.”  He is Patron of the Poor.  In art he is depicted holding the Christ Child.  He is widely invoked for the return of lost articles.
It seems no accident that this Saint was placed in charge of and protection of Saint Annibale di Francia’s Orphanages and Religious Institutions.  The Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, the Little Daughter of the Divine Will, also lived 10 years in the Orphanage of St. Anthony in Corato. So St. Anthony is also important to Luisa’s cause because of the necessity of St. Anthony’s help to return man’s greatest loss—that of the Most Holy Divine Will.
