SERVE HIM CONSTANTLY

2 Sing to him, sing his praise, proclaim all his wondrous deeds.
3 Glory in his holy name; rejoice, O hearts that seek the Lord!

4 Look to the Lord in his strength;

seek to serve him constantly.

5 Recall the wondrous deeds that he has wrought, his portents, and the judgments he has uttered.
6 You descendants of Abraham, his servants, sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
7 He, the Lord, is our God; throughout the earth his judgments prevail.

-- Psalm 105:2-3, 4-5, 6-7

Words of Wisdom

If we wish to make any progress in the service of God we must begin every day of our life with new eagerness. We must keep ourselves in the presence of God as much as possible and have no other view or end in all our actions but the divine honor. -- St. Charles Borromeo

Lord, what will Thou have me to do?

Here is the true token of a soul absolutely perfect: when one has succeeded in leaving behind his own will to such a degree as no longer to seek, to aim, or to desire to do what he would will, but only what God wills. -- St. Bernard

A servant is not pious if she is not industrious. -- St. Zita

Prophetic Revelation

In his life repaired the house, and in his time fortified the temple. -- Sirach 50:1

Behold, my servant shall prosper, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high. -- Isaiah 52:13

And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in. -- Isaiah 58:12

It is too light a thing that you should be my servant; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth. -- Isaiah 49:6

I come to Serve . . .

"The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45)

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men (Philippians 2:5-7).

"Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you" (Mark 5:19).
