Ron Rolheiser OMI has written a new book;
OUR ONE GREAT ACT OF FIDELITY
The following is an extract from it :
With age, I am growing less confident or sure about my knowledge of God, religion and life. As knowledge deepens, it also widens and begins to take on softer edges. Unlike the more confident years of my youth, I now live with the sense that my understanding of God's ways is a long way from being adequate, let alone normative. The mystery we live in is huge, and the more we grasp the magnitude of the cosmic and spiritual world, the more we grasp too how ineffable is God. God truly is beyond us, beyond language, beyond imagination, and even beyond feeling. We can know God, but can never understand God. And so we must be more humble, both in our theology and in our ecclesiology. Mostly, we don't know what we are doing. The Eucharist, because it is the one ritual given by Jesus himself, is one of our places of confidence.

Sample Prayer by Bruce D Prewer
LIKE A PLOVER
God, tender and strong,
as the plover defends her young
against all enemies,
so defend me
against those nameless fears
which are my enemies.
Under your warm wings
let me take shelter
until faith and courage return.
For your love's sake. Amen.
TRUST AND OBEY
I pass on to each of you
that we have first received
from a friend of the Lord Jesus:
“They who believe, obey,
and all who obey will believe.”
Though shadows arise,
and clouds fill the skies,
there’s nothing can drive you away.
Not a sigh nor a tear, not a frown nor a fear,
can win while we trust and obey..
We shall trust and obey,
for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus,
but to trust and obey.
There’s no burden we bear
and no sorrow we wear,
that can outwear his love for our clay.
Not a joy nor a pain,
not a loss nor a gain,
but is shared if we trust and obey.
“They who believe, obey,
and all who obey will believe.”
We shall trust and obey,
for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus,
but to trust and obey.
