August – Month of Leisure, Quiet and Reading

Intention of the month

To become more aware of the need to relax and to read good spiritual books, to soak ourselves in the peace that only God can give us. 

Loving God, open our hearts that we may feel the breath and play of the Spirit.

 Open our lips, that we may drink in the delight and wonder of life.                  

Anon

“Mother of all that is pure and glad,

All that is bright and blest,

As we have taken our toil to thee,

So we will take our rest.

 Take thou and bless our holiday

O causa nostrae laetitiae!”

 I want you to be happy, always happy in the Lord. There is no need to worry, the Lord is very near.

Ephesians 4:6
