Grandmother Litany

Mother, mercy.

Maid, mirror of grace,
have mercy.

Holy Crone, mother of the motherless,
have mercy.

Grandmother,
Mother may we,
let us please
come into your house.

House of comfort,
House of dread,
Home to all, and to all a good night.

House of doubters,
Home to truth.
House of believers,
Home to shadows.

House of laughter,
House of howls.
Home to all, and to all a good night.

House of sinners,
Home to the pure of heart.
House of the vessels of destruction,
Home to honor.

House of starry nights,
House of moons,
Home to all, and may all find the light.

House of the joyful noise,
Home of drunken spirits.
House of the damned,
Home of the last come first.

House of blood,
House of cold counsel,
Home to all, may all fight the good fight.

House of grace,
Home to mystery,
to Grandmother's House we go,
singing all the way.

Grandmother's House has many rooms.
and room for all.

Home to all, always warm, merry and bright.
Grandma keeps the hearth fire burning
always and amen.

Ark of the broken covenant,
Ark of dust and ashes,
Dark womb,
Holy Crone,
you receive us back.
Always
and

Amen.

It is here, my daughters, that love is to be found
not hidden away in corners
but in the midst of occasions of sin.

To reach something good
it is very useful to have gone astray,
and thus acquire experience.

Proverbs

Sun, 19 Aug 2007 21:14:18 GMT

The eye cannot say to the hand,
I have no need of you.
+++
The members of the body
which seem the weaker
are the most necessary,
and the members of the body
which we think dishonorable,
we clothe in abundant honor,
and our uncomely parts
have more abundant comeliness.
+++
There should be no schism in the body.

First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians

Sun, 05 Aug 2007 15:10:02 GMT

Let the poor brother rejoice that he is exalted,
but let the rich one be thankful that he is brought low,
because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
For the sun no sooner rises with a burning heat,
but it wither the grass, and the bloom falls,
and the grace of its flower perishes.

Epistle of James

so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

Book of Proverbs

Sun, 08 Jul 2007 19:54:39 GMT

I spit on fools who fail to include
Breasts in their metaphysics,
Star-gazers who have not enumerated them
Among the moons of the earth...

They give each finger
Its true shape, its joy:
Virgin soap, foam
On which our hands are cleansed.

Charles Simic

And the tongue is a fire,
a world of iniquity:
so is the tongue among our members,
that it defileth the whole body,
and setteth on fire the course of nature;
and it is set on fire of hell.

James 3:6

shall be loosed in heaven.

Gospel of Matthew

Pater noster, qui es in caelis:
sanctificetur Nomen Tuum;
adveniat Regnum Tuum;
fiat voluntas Tua,
sicut in caelo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem;
sed libera nos a Malo.

Ave María,
grátia plena,
Dóminus tecum.
Benedícta tu in muliéribus,
et benedíctus fructus ventris tui,
Jesus.

Sancta María, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatóribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.

Gloria Patri,
et Filio,
et Spiritui Sancto,
Sicut erat in principio,
et nunc,
et semper,
et in saecula saeculorum.

Amen.

In the beauties of holiness

from the womb of the dawn

you will recieve the dew of your youth.

Psalm 110

Sun, 27 May 2007 21:23:04 GMT

REMEMBER THE FALLEN

From whence come wars and fightings among you?
Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain:
ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss,
that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Epistle of James

Mon, 16 Oct 2006 03:22:16 GMT

I am poured out like water,
   and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax;
   it is melted within my breast;
my strength is dried up like a potsherd,
   and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
   you lay me in the dust of death.

For dogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers encircles me;
they have pierced my hands and feet—
they stare and gloat, they have numbered all my bones.

Psalm 22

for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband:

Blessed are the seekers with hungry hearts,

Even those who do no wickedness and walk in the way.

My soul melts away in heaviness; Thou comfort me,

according to thy word.
