"Canticle to the Holy Face"

About dry prayer...waiting for the 2nd dark night...

Watchful Blindness

 

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing!

 

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THeSE WITH US.

 

These are absolutely heart rendering! I subscribed to your channel so as not to miss a single song. Thank you so much

 

I wrote and produced a song based on
St. Therese's Offering to Merciful Love...

 

I posted this on a different thread but it is better suited to this thread.

Below is a song I wrote for our beautiful priests who need to know they are loved and appreciated.
Especially after all the scandals.

Imagine a world without priests...without Confession...without the Eucharist.

They give all for Christ for our eternal sake.

A Priest Forever in the Order of Melchizedek

 

My little attempt to travel deeper into the Interior Castle with each verse...

THE CASTLE

 

“The Castle”
A song inspired by St. Teresa of Ávila

I. PURGATIVE

Verse 1
I stood at the threshold, trembling, worn,
A soul in rags, with pride still torn.
The flesh was loud, the world too near,
Yet Love kept whispering: “I am here.”

Pre-Chorus
Through arid paths, I crawled and bled,
Where night was thick, and angels fled.
I drank the cup of bitter fire—
Each step a death, each death, desire.

Chorus
Oh, burn me clean, O Breath Divine,
Strip every veil that isn’t Thine.
If pain must be the price of sight,
Then wound me deeper, flame of Light.

II. ILLUMINATIVE

Verse 2
Within the silence, truths unfold,
The Word is spoken, soft and bold.
No longer blind, the soul perceives
The Gardener walking through the leaves.

Pre-Chorus
His voice is wind, His touch is flame,
He calls each branch of me by name.
In sacred stillness, I am taught
To yield to love, and not to thought.

Chorus
Oh, shape me, Christ, in Wisdom’s grace,
Make pure the dwelling of Thy Face.
Let every thorn that pierced Thee too
Take root in me, and bloom anew.

III. UNITIVE

Verse 3
O Living Flame, O Gentle Spouse,
Thou art the breath within my vows.
No more I seek, for I am found—
The soul and God in silence bound.

Pre-Chorus
The walls dissolve, the self is gone,
Only the Lover and the One.
A drop within the boundless sea,
I know at last: He lives in me.

Final Chorus
O Sweet Beloved, wound me still,
Consume me wholly in Thy will.
This is the end, this is the start—
One burning flame, one single heart.

Coda
“Let nothing trouble you, let nothing frighten you…
God alone suffices…”

 

Is this you singing? What a beautiful voice!

 

Not my voice!

If I sang it it would not be beautiful!

 

Amazing talent you have. Well done!

 

It reminds me a bit of St Hildegarde Von Bignen

 

Now that is beautiful!!!

 

This is so exquisite so Teresan in its fire and purity. Just wonderful.

 

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

 

You hit a home run with the above, non sum dignus. Thank you!
