On World Mission Sunday 2013.10.20, A Dedication


We’re ONE: We’re the Earth, the Moon 
and the Sun...


We’re ONE: We’re the Earth, the Moon and the Sun...
What you dish out comes around, it is true.
We’re ONE: We’re you, him, her, them and the Son!
What you do to others, you do to you!
Poison rivers: You poison yourself, too. 

Through food chains the poison’s back unto you!


But what you do to the least brother of mine
You’ve done the same good deed to the Divine.
What’s this life if, so short and full of care,
Our compassion and fortune we ne’er share?
We are the salt and the light of the world:
Live not only by bread, but by the Word!



Each time before you speak, think deep and hard.
Flying arrows are insulting, angry words.
Beautiful things, relations may be scarred;
Harsh words return to hurt like nesting birds.
O Sacrament of Reconciliation  --
Sins wiped out --  such wondrous celebration!  



We are the branch, Lord Jesus is the Vine.
Let the Divine Spark in each of us glow.
Through Him, with Him, in Him, we’ll never die! 

May God’s loving Grace in us, through us, flow!
As Christians, we all on our forehead bear
Sweet Jesus’ holy sign of the Cross fair.



Our Lord dies for each of us on a tree
From sins and death to set all of us free!
Precious Blood, Water flow for you and me
On Fridays on the hill at Calvary.
Our Lord’s Passion, Death and Resurrection
Have gained for us eternal Salvation!



The less sins we bear, the more Grace we’ll share.
Whoe’er dwells in Me, I in her or him.
Walk with your own cross; on Christ’s body fare!
In distress, none shall be out on a limb.
Walk the straight and narrow behind the Christ.            
By temptations, falsehoods, don’t be enticed!                    

We’re ONE: the universe, innumerable suns...
Made of star dust are the galaxies... you and I.
We're ONE: God is LOVE; He’s in you, me and the Son! 

All mankind’s ONE family under the same sky!
This a poor life if, short and full of care,
To love, to dream, to worship, we ne'er dare!
 

We're God's children -- spir’tual beings -- learning,                       you see,
In His image, His temple, TO LOVE endlessly!




WORLD MISSION DAY
MISSION INTENTION:

That the celebration of World Mission Day may help all Christians realize that we are not only receivers but proclaimers of God's Word.
