CHRIST IS RISEN
Your Lenten Fast has ended. Jesus lives, never more to die! Today is a day of great rejoicing. At the end of this day filled with Easter festivities, find time to meditate on Saint Alphonsus’ hymn in praise of God, “O God of Loveliness.”
O God of loveliness, O Lord of heaven above,
How worthy to possess my heart’s devoted love.
So sweet thy countenance, so gracious to behold
That one, one only glance to me were bliss untold.
To think Thou art my God – Oh thought forever blest!
My heart has overflowed with joy within my breast,
My soul so full of bliss, is plunged as in a sea,
Deep in the sweet abyss of holy charity.
O loveliness supreme, and Beauty infinite,
O ever flowing Stream and Ocean of delight,
O Life by which I live, My trust Life above,
To Thee alone I give my undivided love.
Taken from Lent and Easter Wisdom from St. Alphonsus Liquori
