From an old book entitled ‘The Crown of
Jesus’, taken from the Prayer Book of Fr. F.X Lasance:
We can meditate when we sit in the
house,
When we walk on the way,
When we lie down, when we rise up.
We can meditate by considering all
earthly things as types of holy truths.
In trees, the wood of the cross, our
Redemption.
In dust, our origin.
In the sky heaven, our reward.
In the stars, the heavenly mansions of
those who by their glorious deeds have brought many to justice.
In the moon, the Queen of heaven.
In the sun, the Son of justice.
In the sea, the ocean of eternity.
In the waves, the progress of time.
In the seashore covered with waters, our
mortality.
In the footprints on the sand erased,
fame.
In the sudden darkness, mortal sin.
In the bright Light, God’s grace.
In the gentle wind, the breath of the
Holy Spirit, the Comforter.
In bread, the Blessed Sacrament, the
true Bread of Life.
In water, the cleansing grace of
Baptism.
In oil, the anointing of the young and
the sick.
In the sound of the clock, the
irrevocable progress of time.
