I had a window on the North side when there was a move to redecorate the cubicle, each of us was asked to choose a colour from a book, I chose mine which was finally painted a pastel brown. I remember that one of the cubicles was red?? But I do not remember whose cubicle it was, except that the room looked to the South. All this happened under Fr. Eugene´s reign (terrorific), please raise a hand those that think it was so)?? If any remembers their room's colour, please give me a line.
I remember that the cubicle closest to the stairways was the Galt brothers, both made a lot of noise after lights out, putting in about half an hour of streching with their newly bought "Charles Atlas" spring exercisers. I believe that it had five lines of springs. Can anyone remember "Charles Altas"?
So my friends, another week has gone by and I hope that you are getting ready for the Carnival. Maybe some of you can write about the event and let us share the emotions.
God Bless
Ladislao

THE LYRICS
VESPERS OF SAINT BENEDICT
Leader: O God, come to our aid!
All: O Lord, make haste to help us!
Glory be to the Father and to the Son, / and to the Holy Spirit; / As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, / World without end. Amen. / Alleluia!
---------------------------------------------
Hymn:
Where can we find, in these dark times, a guide to lead, to light our way?
Saint Benedict shows us the Cross of Christ, who turns our night to day.
The Word of God, alive in him and active, all throughout his life,
Inspired him to choose a way of prayer and peace: an end to strife.
Like early Christians, sharing all their goods in love, and breaking bread,
His children gather round their Lord who leads them, risen from the dead.
Are you someone who yearns for life, or seeks the fullness of good days?
Saint Benedict calls out to you: ‘Submit to Christ! Walk in his ways.’
---------------------------------------------
Psalmody:
Ant.1. Psalm 19(18)B: Praise for God, the Lawgiver.
Benedict, beloved of the Lord, left all things that he might become perfect. He dwelt in solitude before the face of God, and the law of the Lord was in his heart.
- The law of the Lord is perfect, / it revives the soul. / The rule of the Lord is to be trusted, / it gives wisdom to the simple.
- The precepts of the Lord are right, / they gladden the heart. / The command of the Lord is clear, / it gives light to the eyes.
- The fear of the Lord is holy, / abiding for ever. / The decrees of the Lord are truth / and all of them just.
- They are more to be desired than gold, / than the purest of gold, / and sweeter are they than honey, / than honey from the comb.
- So in them your servant finds instruction; / great reward is in their keeping. / But can we discern all our errors? / From hidden faults acquit us.
- From presumption restrain your servant / and let it not rule me. / Then shall I be blameless, / clean from grave sin.
- May the spoken words of my mouth, the thoughts of my heart, / win favour in your sight, O Lord, / my rescuer, my rock!
- Glory be to the Father and to the Son, / and to the Holy Spirit; / as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, / world without end. Amen.
Benedict, beloved of the Lord, left all things that he might become perfect. He dwelt in solitude before the face of God, and the law of the Lord was in his heart.
-----------------------------------------------
Ant.2. Psalm : Celebrating the great works of the Lord.
O Glorious Confessor of Christ, Father and Guide of all your Monks, pray for us.
- I will thank the Lord with all my heart / in the meeting of the just and their assembly. / Great are the works of the Lord, / to be pondered by all who love them.
- Majestic and glorious his work, / his justice stands firm for ever. / He makes us remember his wonders. / The Lord is compassion and love.
- He gives food to those who fear him; / keeps his covenant ever in mind. / He has shown his might to his people / by giving them the lands of the nations.
- His works are justice and truth, / his precepts are all of them sure, / standing firm for ever and ever; / they are made in uprightness and truth.
- He has sent deliverance to his people / and established his covenant for ever. / [Omit C] /Holy his name, to be feared.
- To fear the Lord is the first stage of wisdom; / all who do so prove themselves wise. / [Omit C] / His praise shall last forever!
- Glory be to the Father and to the Son / and to the Holy Spirit; / as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, / world without end. Amen.
O glorious confessor of Christ, father and guide of all your monks, pray for us.
---------------------------------------------
Ant.3. Canticle: Revelation 4:11; 5:9-12: Hymn of the Redeemed.
Let us hasten to our heavenly homeland with the help of Christ; and may he bring us all together to the glory of God, his Father.
Refrain: To the Lamb of God be glory, honour and power!
Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power!
For you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.
Worthy are you, O Lord our God, to take the scroll and to open its seals.
For you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed men for God, from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
You have made us a kingdom and priests to our God, and we shall reign on earth.
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth, and wisdom and might and honour and glory and blessing.
----------------------------------------------
WORD OF GOD * * * * * * * SILENT PRAYER
Short Response:
If we recall that we, together, are Christ’s Body, and each of us with a different part to play, then let us strive for peace and understanding, and mutual upbuilding in love.
Song Of The Virgin Mary:
Anyone who wants to save his life will lose it. Anyone who hates his life in this world, will keep it for eternal life. And if anyone serve me, he must follow me, and wherever I am, there my servant shall be.
- My soul glorifies the Lord, / my spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour; / He looks on his servant in her lowliness, / hence forth all ages will call me blessed.
- The Almighty works marvels for me. / Holy his name! / His mercy is from age to age, / on those who fear him.
- He puts forth his arm in strength, / and scatters the proud-hearted. / He casts the mighty from their thrones/ and raises the lowly.
- He fills the starving with good things / [Omit B & C] / sends the rich away empty.
- He protects Israel, his servant, / remembering his mercy, / the mercy promised to our fathers, / to Abraham and his children for ever.
- Glory be to the Father and to the Son,/ and to the Holy Spirit; / as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,/ world without end. Amen.
Anyone who wants to save his life will lose it. Anyone who hates his life in this world, will keep it for eternal life; and if any one serve me, he must follow me, and wherever I am, there my servant shall be.
--------------------------------------------
IF YOU ARE OFFERING YOUR GIFT [Matthew 6:23-24]
If you are offering your gift at the altar,
And there remember that your brother has something against you,
Leave you gift before the altar,
God and be reconciled with your brother first,
Then come, and present your gift.
-------------------
COME, LET US SING TO THE LORD, OUR GOD
Come, let us sing to the Lord, our God! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Let us cry out to our saving Lord: Alleluia!
[Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.]
Come, let us sing to the Lord, our God! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Let us cry out to our saving Lord: Alleluia!
------------------------------------------------
LES PETITS ENFANTS.
God, our Father, we, Your little children, the joy of Your heart, sing to You.
Help us to be a sign of Your love. Guide our little footsteps straight along Your way.
Open us to beauty: You give us land and sea.
Help us do our duty: good citizens to be.
God our Father, we Your little children, the joy of your heart, sing, sing to You.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD, YOUR GOD. [Inspired by Matthew 22:34-37]*
Refrain: You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your soul and mind and heart.
You shall love your neighbour as yourself. In God’s love you shall take your
part. [2X]
The Pharisees found Jesus and they tried to trap him, tie him up, trip him in his speech.
But Jesus saw their malice as they tried to zap him. HE stepped aside and slipped through the breach.
What did he say?
When Pharisees of now-a-days attempt to trip us, with shiny guns or sexy talk or drugs;
We’ll recognise their malice as they try to grip us, and step aside and conquer those thugs.
What shall we say?
-------------------------------------------------------
GLORY AND HONOUR [Adaptation of Psalm 96]
Refrain: Glory and honour, thanksgiving and praise
Be to the Lord our God! Bless Him all our days. (2X)
- O sing a new song to the Lord. Sing to the Lord, all the earth. O sing to God, bless His holy name.
- Proclaim His help day by day. Tell the nations his glory, His wonders among all the peoples.
- Proclaim: “God is King!” The world He made firm in its place. He judges the peoples with fairness.
- Glory to the Father, to Jesus Christ, the Lord, to the Spirit who dwells in our hearts.
-------------------------------------------
IN GOD’S HOUSE [Inspired by Psalm 122]
I was glad when they came to tell me “Let us go to God’s house.” Doubly glad when they sent to tell me: “You will live in God’s house.” [2X]
And today you are In God’s House! And today we are In God’s House! And all of us are In God’s House!
Chorus: Do not be anxious. Don’t be ever afraid! God is sufficient. God is enough for your life. [Words of St. Teresa of Avila.]
They are happy who live in God’s house ever singing his praise. They are happy who honour God’s house. Live and walk in his ways. [2X]
We’re people of God In God’s House! We’re children of God In God’s House! We’re family all In God’s House!
There is one thing I ask You, Father: Let me live in Your House. To experience Your love and goodness all my days in Your House. [2X]
What more do I need? Nothing more! Who else do I need? No one else! My heart and my soul Love You so!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CANTICLE OF DANIEL [Daniel 3:52-57]
You are blest, Lord God of our ancestors. To You, glory and praise for evermore! Blest Your glorious, holy name! To You, glory and praise for evermore! You are blest in the temple of Your pow’r! To You, glory and praise for evermore!
You are blest, who gaze into the depths. To You, glory and praise for evermore! You are blest in the firmament of heav’n. To You, glory and praise for evermore! You who walk on the wings of the wind. To You, glory and praise for evermore!
May they bless You, the saints and the angels. To You, glory and praise for evermore! From the heavens, the earth and the sea, To You, glory and praise for evermore! You are blest, Lord God of our ancestors. To You, glory and praise for evermore!
------------------------------------------------------
FREEDOM SONG
Chorus:
Give thanks to Jesus, for He has redeemed us; He has released us, He has renewed us!
Give thanks to Jesus, for now He has freed us! Praise his name and shake, shake off the yoke!
Shake, shake off the yoke!
Christ reconciled the world by His death on the Cross. [2 Cor. 5:18ff]
Pierced through for all our sins, through His wounds we are free. Is. 53:5 – 6; 1 Peter 2:24]
Come to the water, come, you who want liberty. [cf Is. 55:1]
Drink from Christ’s flowing heart; then indeed you’ll be free. [John 7:37; 8:36]
Freed from sin’s slavery and alive now for God, [Romans 6:18; 6:11]
Let us make others free: break the thongs of their yoke. {Is. 58:6]
[At the end of the final Chorus:]
Praise His name and shake, shake off the yoke! Shake, shake off the yoke!
Shake, shake off the, shake off the, shake off the, shake off the, shake off the yoke!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
AS THE POTTER’S CLAY
Chorus:
Mould us, Lord, as the potter’s clay,
Fire us, Lord, with your Spirit today.
Shape us, Lord, in the likeness of Jesus, Your Son,
So we his flock may continue what the great Shepherd has begun.
Set us apart as your priesthood and praise once again in Your might.
Call us anew out of darkness to walk in Your light. [1 Peter 2:9]
Wake us each morning to listen to You [Isaiah 50:4b]
As we stand in the breach. [Psalm 106:23]
When we reply to the wearied,
Provide us with speech. [Isaiah 50: 4a]
When in the heat of the battle, Lord,
Hold high our limp arms in prayer. [Exodus 17:11-12]
Alone on the lake of our terror,
We find You are there. [Matthew 14:28-31]
Fill us, renew us, restore us, release us,
All over the land.
With boldness and power, yet docile
As clay in Your hand. [Acts 1:8; Jeremiah 18:7]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RETURN TO THE LORD
Chorus:
Return to the Lord, return, O Israel
He calls to you.
For the Lord is full of love and tender mercy;
He waits for your heart.
What shall I do with you, O my people?
This love of yours so quickly disappears. [Hosea 6:4]
When will you share your bread with the hungry?
When will you welcome in the homeless poor? [Isaiah 58:7]
I do not take delight in burnt off’ring.
Give Me yourself, your crushed and broken heart. [Psalm 51:17]
And I will plant My law deep within you.
Deep in your heart will I inscribe My name. [Jeremiah 31:31]
I love you with a love everlasting;
I hold you constantly close to My heart. [Jeremiah 31:31]
----------------------------------------------------------------
WE’RE FAMILY
Chorus:
Put your hands together, then reach out to your brother (sister), we’re family!
Hold him (her) close to your heart, and share the warmth of your smile. We belong!
With our arms above, we link a circle of love; we’re all children of one God.
Human family! We belong to the earth!
What mean these rumours of war all around us?
Rivers of hatred in flood?
When will the love of our family surround us,
And not the sight of their blood?
Put your hands together… sister… hold her…
We see the clouds of foreboding mushrooming,
Fumes of disaster above.
But we have buds of fidelity blooming
Under the sun of God’s love.
Put your hands together … brother … hold him …
Why do we waste all our energy striving
For baubles and tinsel and toys?
Let’s hoard the sweetness of honey in hiving
Our precious family joys!
Put your hands together … sister … hold her …
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
AS BREAD THAT WAS BROKEN
As Bread that was broken and was scattered on the hillsides,
Gathered now together in one loaf of blessing,
So let all peoples of this land be gathered, Jesus.
We, though many, form one body, sharing in one bread. (2X)
As bread that was broken on the surface of the desert,
Gathered by Your people, just as each one needed,
So let Your children taste and see Your sweetness, Jesus.
As bread that was broken and shared out upon the green grass,
Gathered by five thousand and with scraps remaining,
So let Your people of this region gather, Jesus.
As bread that was broken on the Cross, and at the Supper,
Gathered by disciples down the ages, loving,
So let all members of Your Church be gathered, Jesus.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JESUS, THE CHRIST [ Philippians 2:6-11]
Jesus, the Christ, Son of the Father,
Though He was in the form of God,
Became obedient for us, sinners,
Unto His death upon a Cross.
But God has raised Him high in glory,
Bestowed on Him the name of Lord
That all mankind might pay Him homage,
And all creation own Him LORD.
-----------------------------------------------------------
WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST [Inspired by an invocation for the Way of the Cross]
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless you
because You redeemed the world by Your blood.
We praise and magnify Your name
because You poured out Your life in love.
All glory and honour is Yours
because You obeyed Your Father’s will unto death.
God has now raised You on high
and made You Lord of heaven and of earth.
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You
because You redeemed the world by Your blood.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOD OF MUSIC
God of love,
Father of dance and music!
God of joy,
Beauty plucked and played!
Be with us
Gathered to praise and love You,
Singing in the circle of the
Music of Your love.
Singing in the circle of Your Name.
Jesus Christ,
Rhythm of all our dancing!
You leapt down
From Your Father’s side.
Move in us
Heart of our flesh pulsating,
Leaping from the cradle to the
Cross, with all our shame.
Leaping to the Father in our name.
Breath of God,
Energy, life and Spirit!
Breathe in us
Song and dance and play!
Warm our hearts,
Link us to love, delighting.
Holding every person in the
Bosom of Your love,
Holding everyone in Your embrace.
[Holding every person in the
Bosom of Your love,
Holding every one in Your embrace.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HYMN FOR NIGHT PRAYER
Darkness now enfolds us,
Daylight is at end.
Come, O Shining Presence,
Spirit, be our friend.
Hover o’er the water,
Sleep within our breast.
Calm the waves within us,
Lead us now to rest.
Let not Love’s betrayal,
Let no traitor’s kiss
Mar this day’s Christ-sharing
Drunk and dipped in dish.
Journey with us onward
To th’ approaching morn.
Call us forth, like Jesus,
To new life, reborn.
