by i.burgess on November 16, 2010

A Million Miracles
by i.burgess on November 10, 2010
O Son of God, perform a miracle for me: Change my heart, You whose crimson blood redeems mankind, whiten my heart. It is you who makes the sun bright and the the ice sparkle; you who makes the rivers flow and the salmon leap. Your skilled hand makes the nut tree blossom, and the corn [...]

Warplane Almighty

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon: where there is doubt, faith ; where there is despair, hope where there is darkness, light where there is sadness, joy O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled [...]
Treasuring Jesus over sin
by i.burgess on July 9, 2010
I really want to sin. No, I don’t want to go out and shoot a person in the face or rob the last pennies from some poor old dear or even take advantage of the low prices abusive labour practices can provide. But there’s still plenty of bad things I still really would like to [...]

How Majestic Your Name
by i.burgess on January 5, 2010
Sadly I can’t see the moon from my current position, without straining to look around. I think the night sky can unite many of us, throughout the ages and across the world people have looked up, out and encountered something far bigger and outside of themselves . Work ceases in the dark. Tending of fields [...]
This isn’t a new years resolution.
by i.burgess on January 1, 2010
Happy new year. Though in the immortal words of a college friend of mine: “How do you know it’s going to be a happy year?” Dieting, drinking less and cutting out smoking: These were among the new years resolutions amongst my friends. By 1 AM, the smoker caved and I’m fairly sure some of my [...]
