The grace I suggest that you ask for today is the grace to wait in joyful hope. It is a special grace we ask for at mass. It is a beautiful grace to ask for every day— there is a kind of waiting that is impatient, that forces change, a kind of waiting where we cannot stay put.

And then there is a waiting that is one of joyful anticipation– a waiting that lives in the present, but looks forward to the future.

1. What are you waiting for in your life? Write it down in your journal.
2. Are you waiting for it with fear that it might not happen, or are you waiting for it in joyful hope? What is the reason for your state of mind?

Soon Love Soon
Vienna Teng

Soon, love, soon
Soon, love, soon
Soon, love, soon

There’ll be a fire burning in the temple of our peace
(Soon love soon)
There’ll be the soaring voice for a silent plea
(Soon love soon)
We will hold a broken circle and begin to pray
(Soon love soon)
We will find a black and white in the grey

And we will be as one god
And we will be as one people
And we will be as one god
And we will be as one people

(Soon love soon)
We will find illumination in unnatural light
(Soon love soon)
You will travel a thousand miles without leaving my sight
(Soon love soon)
We will find we never knew hatred ran so deep
(Soon love soon)
Such a wide, wide chasm of faith to leap

But we will be as one god
And we will be as one people
And we will be as one god
And we will be as one people
Yes we will be as one god
And we will be as one people

(Soon love soon)
There’ll be an evolution of the human soul
(Soon love soon)
We will know that to be a part is to be truly whole
(Soon love soon)
We will know the pattern of centuries’ rise and fall
(Soon love soon)
We will know that the fate of one is the fate of all

And we will be as one god
And we will be as one people
