Saint Philip and Saint James, Apostles & Martyrs
"Our Souls are restless till we find our home in Thee"The sentiment was from Saint Augustine, 1600 years ago." Our souls are restless till we find our home in Thee."
We gather on the Internet from many places, bringing many needs, joy, sadness, depression, energy and optismism: all those emotions and more are present here at this point in time.Perhaps it is at least true to say that our souls are restless till we do find our home somewhere, in something that feels adequate to our yearnings.

Lord, you have been our refuge forever,
before the mountains were born,
before the earth and the world came to birth,
from eternity to eternity You are God.

You bring human beings to the dust,
by saying, "return children of the earth."
A thousand years are to You
like a yesterday which has passed,
like a watch in the night.

In the morning we are like growing grass:
in the morning we are blossoming and growing,
by evening we are withered and dry.

You have seen our guilty deeds,
our secrets are open to your eyes.

Teach us to number our days,
that we might come to the heart of wisdom.

Let Your favor be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us,
yes, the word of our hands
Do establish it.

May the Lord bless us and keep us all,

Ed..........
