O Lord, 

for ever 

will I sing; 

from age

to age my 

mouth shall 

proclaim

your faith

fulness.

        * Thomas Traherne 

      English priest and poet 

            1637 - 1674

              Desire 

For giving me desire,

An eager thirst, a burning ardent fire,

A virgin infant flame,

A love with which into the world I came,

An inward hidden heavenly love,

Which in my soul did work and move,

And ever, ever me inflame

With restless longing, heavenly avarice,

That never could be satisfied,

That did incessantly a paradise

Unknown suggest, and something undescribed

Discern, and bear me to it; be

Thy name forever praised by me.

Weep-

 night,

        but joy comes in the morning.

* Today we remember the lives and witness and work of four remarkable women liberators and prophets:  

Elizabeth Caddy Stanton, 1815 to 1902, Amelia Bloomer, 1818 to 1894,  SojournerT ruth, (née Isabellea [Belle] Baumfree 1897 to 1883, and Harriet Ross Tubman, 1820 to 1913. 1820 to 1913. The first two were white and the second two, black women born into slavery.  Harriet was slated to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill but that has been at best postponed by this Administration.   

O God, 

whos Spirit 

guides us into 

all truth and makes us free…

Give us vision and courage to stand against oppression and injustice and all that works against the glorious liberty it to which do you call all your children -Collect
