St. Therese of Lisieux: Canticle of Love lyrics by Sr. Therese Sokol ocd

Today I have included the lyrics to the much requested St. Therese of Lisieux: Canticle of Love ( lyrics/arr. by Sr. Sokol ocd). I will not go into great detail of how important this arrangement was in my own awareness/blossoming. However I will say to you today, the last few years of my life, the experiences, the insights, encounters, have been….well lets say the archetype of my home state West Virginia “almost heaven”.

St. Therese of the Child Jesus and Holy Face

How great and tender is our God,
who has smiled on the lowly,
eternally my heart will sing a new canticle of love.

Come all who hunger, all who thirst,
all who long for fulfillment,
the God of mercy waits for you,
as a mother her child,
oh come to the living water,
fear not your weakness,
forever trusting in God’s merciful love.

Through the shadows of this night,
love will be my guiding light,
presence hidden from my sight,
till the clouds are put to flight,
beneath your gaze, I’ve blossomed forth
as a rose in the sunshine.
With joyful heart, I give it all
to the mystery of love.

In peace, I will come before you,
with empty hands,
relying solely on your merciful love.

Through the veil your face appears,
beauty shrouded bathed in tears,
bread of sinners I will share,
rose unpetaled everywhere.

Oh, My God, I will sing of your love,
for this one eternal day,
for this one eternal today.

Transformed in love’s consuming fire, lifted up in glory,
her fragrance filling all the earth,
drawing us unto her,
until in eternity,
we join in one chorus,
forever singing of God’s merciful love.

Canticle of love, song of love,
this eternal day, I will sing, sing of your love.

Spiritual Thermostat Regulation

I thought I would mention to some of you a topic I have often discussed Beyond Psychic. Psychic is something that has nothing to do with Divine revelations.
Psychics are often not mystics nor do they necessarily have to have a connection to Divinity. In addition, and probably the biggest difference between is the following: psychics do not have a Divine command, are based mostly in the ego, and in some ways can be or could be considered intrusive.

Divine revelations, something more in the realm of mysticism will have a Divinity component, most always carry a Divine command, is never based in the ego or lower realms. Divine revelations almost always have as their goal to assist in spiritual progress, they may point to spiritual blocks, or may be purely goverened by the angelic realm.

Now if Divine revelations just happen to correlate with something physical, then you can almost say the following: sometimes God chooses people ( mystics) to do errands because they may have experience in that particular situation, it may be they are pointing to a much deeper Divine connection and what we would call sacred, something heaven is in charge of. It is being revealed because it is to bring an awareness, a realization, and yes sometimes it does save lives literally, spiritually, etc. Sometimes heaven reveals things because there is a need at the time to fulfill what God wants. This is one of the greatest tests of nothing less than surrender to Heaven’s will. Now Heaven’s will is an interesting area. Sometimes people feel that sounds restricting. One thing I can tell you, once you line up to heaven’s will, you soon realize heaven has either spared you or something quite beautiful is happening.

Be careful not to judge. Always stay in level four( heart) or above. Finally maybe, just maybe if you listen very carefully, the person revealing things to you could have experienced something very similar and heaven brought them to you to help in many, many ways, far beyond what this world understands. Maybe, before people judge they would step back and really listen to ALL things and maybe then they would finally understand.

In my audio book Incahoots With God I clearly describe yet once again ways God would be quite physically demanding of me. Spiritual thermostat regulation is a very sensitive issue with the Divine. It is something that can be dealt with, worked through, and of course if contemplated, can point to areas that more than likely have needed to be dealt with for sometime and guess what? Sometimes God does what God does, because He can. No other reason.

God does work in mysterious ways, those ways are not known by humans, and quite frankly we should be thankful.
God Bless You All,
Susan
