Canción de San Francisco Xavier- Cristóbal Fones SJ

When the world shuts the sun in darkness
When all dreams are swallowed deep beneath the sea
When no one is so caring to dare cross the ocean
That corners the poor and the broken

Rise my light, my Jesus
Set me soaring, flying
Let me trust your promises
Let me do your will

Chorus:
Jesus, fire in my heart
My heart aflame in love for the world
Feels no limits, sees no boundaries
Only God, my hope!

Even if I gained the whole world
It’s nothing to me if it takes me not to you
May no tides pull me under, no dark swirls engulf me
In lifting my gaze to your star

There, in the eyes of the hungry
I see you looking back to me
And your love fills up my soul
Now my soul sets sail

Chorus

Jesus you give joy to your people
Jesus you freed them giving pardon and your peace
In such love that impels me, embracing a people
That long for your kingdom to come

All is yours you’ve given me
Not as mine but all as grace
In your arms take all of it
You’re my land, my sea!

Chorus

The week that was...

Loads of studying this week!!!

Enjoyed the celebration of Francis Xavier's feast. Singing his song, inspired me to challenge myself to new frontiers and greater heights!

But the day that stands out is today. It began with a long chat with a very close friend - loads of sharing and solace. And it ended with an amazing sing-song with a talented group of youngsters at my family doctor's place. It was his grandson's 21st birthday and I had just dropped in to say hi!

Exams begin on wednesday...praying that all goes well!
