PLACE yourself in the presence of God, kneeling with your hands clasped. 2. Read slowly and devoutly <http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/revelation/revelation1.htm#v10>Revelation 1:10-18 NAB, <http://www.newadvent.org/bible/rev001.htm#10>DR,, <http://landru.i-link-2.net/shnyves/Meditation_Sunday.html#*>NRSV. 3. Bring all you have read before you at once, as if you saw our Lord. 4. Then say to Him whatever comes into your mind to say; for instance:-- " His eyes were as a flame of fire," and " His countenance shone as the sun shining [at full] strength." (1) O my God, the day will come when I shall see that countenance and those eyes, when my soul returns to Him to be judged, (2) Those eyes are so piercing: they see through me; nothing is hid from them. You count every hair of my head; You know every breath I breathe; You see every morsel of food I take. (3) Those eyes are so pure. They are so clear that I can look into their depths, as into some transparent well of water, though I cannot see the bottom; for You art infinite. (4) Those eyes are so loving; So gentle, so sweet; they seem to say, " Come to Me." Conclusion. O Lord make me love Thee, make me love Thee. ---------- *Rev. 1:10-18, NRSV. "I was in the spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying, "Write in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea." Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands I saw one like the Son of Man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash across his chest. His head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and from his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining with full force. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he placed his right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living one. I was dead, and see, I am alive forever and ever; and I have the keys of Death and of Hades." <*}}}>< <http://halfthekingdom.mofuse.mobi/>Half the Kingdom! on your Mobile <*}}}>< <*}}}>< <http://www.halfthekingdom.org/wordpress/>Half the Kingdom!
