"In the Cave of the Nativity"
Lord, You have chosen the Virgin Mary
And You gave her at Joseph's care,
To earthly parents You given
Him Whom You sent to us.
Lord, You have chosen this little Cave,
So on the sidelines of the greed's World,
Away from the eyes and pride of Herod,
Away from the vanity that Herod's charge.
Lord, You have chosen to make that the shepherds,
Were the first who saw Him in the Cave,
And Glory's Hymn singing You send them :
Emanuel's time was just begun!
Lord, You have chosen Him to be a born,
To a mother's love and care to grew,
In the carpenter craft overworked His hands
Before to the World went to preach Your Word.

"I Am"
I Am
You whisper to us, O Lord
You are coming
And awaiting for our love
With patiently
In everything surrended
To save souls of
Humanity
As Lazarus
In front of the rich man's house
You are waiting
To our attention
And You desire
That we were seen
This gift of
Transubstantiation

"As Abraham"
He gathered wood. Then he went on mountain,
When he heard what you are requesting Lord.
Three days leading donkey wandered
To fill Thy expectation.
When Isaac asked him about the lamb,
That as victim usually was filed there,
He said that now do not have it with us,
Because the other victims will consist gifts.
And with faith in your heart and love in his eyes,
He picked up a knife in her hand.
And then an angel from heaven joined him.
Cried Do not do. It's quite divine will.
And I would have wanted with so much confidence
Fulfill all that we ask of me,
And at any time, by their conduct
Thy great love and kindness to preach.
Never doubt feel to your will,
The opposition did not take anything against You,
Take all the hardships of the Earth's fate,
To be able to stand humbly before God.

“You have made My House a den of thieves…”
In the row of wooden benches sitting,
With hands folded like a slice of bread,
When the need for standing and kneeling
Seemingly open to God and Heaven.
Pure and holy in our reasoning,
Alwaysjustified by the Today’s world,
We do not have time in our lobbying
For the One who came to earth with love.
We not listen the words that come to us,
We just sits and waits with the demands in heads,
Daily cares only about the future,
Preoccupied with each other, not by faith and God.
We going to take the Holy Saviour
And afterwards grumble for all around,
Without gratitude for His wounds and dedication,
We want to have from Him all our heart are cries.
Without an examination of conscience for sins in the pockets
Filled them up to the same edge:
With the anger and pain done by this to others.
With contempt what for others in our hearts sitting.
Falsely believe that our behavior
We have gained entry into the house of God.
Not seeing the truth that the proceedings
To den of robbers we did.
In the row of wooden benches sitting,
With hands folded like a slice of bread,
When the need for standing and kneeling
Seemingly open to God and Heaven.

"Like a fig tree"
I want to be my Lord, as a fig tree
Full readiness for incoming summer,
With the boughs been filled by the juice completly
With the leaves already prepared to catching of the sun.
I want to be ready like this tree, my Lord,
To the again incoming of my Savior.
At the soul and the mind in His words be rising.
In my life choosing always their wisdom.
I would like to be ready just in time.
And be nubile by humility, prayer, and fidelity.
To not be weak in my confidence and all purity.
And be filled strong by the Father's love.
As this tree I would like to have strong roots
Holding on to each letters of the Commandments;
And in the day when the Savior will calls me to Himself,
Be worthy to go follow Him, to bow to a God.

"The sins of David"
Thrice, thrice David you were a deadly
And extremaly despised to word of the Lord,
Who anointed you king of Israel.
Where is holiness which He had blessed you ?
Bathsheba, the Uriah's wife you coveted
Her child you was conceived in the fornication.
Her husband's you gave to certain death in a battle,
That all what was happened could be a forgotten.
And although these sins Lord is forgive you,
To the child I give death touch today.
With Sword of the Ammonites You made a crime,
This blade will be your curse now.
So said Nathaniel, sent from God,
Standing directly in front of David's face;
A curse of sin which he revealed,
How bitter poison poisoned his life.
Ammon, the son of David, has sister defamed,
In the name of the feelings that he loving her.
In anger Absalom deceit lured him.
An for Tamar's insult he murdered a brother .
Before the father's anger in Geshur he was hiding,
And when he returned, he gained forgiveness.
Seated in his chariot he went to Hebron,
Making a commotion among the Israelites.
Above than his father he grew in the midst of people,
So his father escaped by foot from Jerusalem.
Before the son's power wanted be protected,
On the Mount of Olives which gives him a shelter.
In prayer he asked the Lord to let him
An ever return to the his lost glory.
An ever stand in the Temple, near Ark of the Covenant,
And again, to be king of throughout Israel.
And at that time in the Jerusalem
To Absalom was a tent built;
To concubines of his father possessing.
And even more adored him for it.
Then the twelve thousands of soldiers,
To David's destroy has been posted from the city.
In the forest of Ephraim the battle was held,
And around from blood was red.
Absalom in wandering among the branches was hung.
And this by Joab was soon discovered,
Then he take three spear's blades to the hands,
And: kill him - he said to squires .
And although the victory restored the king,
On the gate David's tears was flowed.
Own life he prefer to give back for a son,
And be buried in his grave now instead to him.
That's the curse of sin came true
Even in the days of the one who sinned.
Because when he confessed his guilt sincerely,
God has been faithful. And he did not sinned again.
He returned in the sacred walls of Jerusalem.
Thanked the Lord for his salvation.
And the Lord was forgive and sent on him honor.
That in his descendants, Jesus came to Earth.

"On the way to Jerusalem"
I'm on way to the Jerusalem
To pay homage to the Temple of Solomon.
Before the Lord I fall on my knees,
Today, asking Him to help her rebuild.
The walls in cedar planks I wrap
To protect the foundation stone
Cypresses on the floor I will lay
In order not to disturb the prayerful silence.
On the right side I will winding staircase,
Twisted like the weakness of the flesh;
Following these steps for my salvation
Every day I climb on my knees praying.
A the sanctuary door from a olive tree
Done carefuly with carpenter care,
To be able to come and give worship to the Lord.
I will talking with Lord in prayer words.
I will give my life to the Lord's commandments,
I will be obeyed to His all command,
In order to fulfill what he said to David,
That He will stay in this Temple for my salvation.
The Ark of the Eucharist at the altar of state
Will be inside Her as illuminations;
Because my holiness is Your Divine Plan,
This will guard for the Holy Covenant
And on this trip to be saved;
I will be with the Lord forever remain
Because when I build the temple in the heart,
This Jerusalem will be in my body.

"To go to the desert"
You calling me Lord
To I went to the desert
To I get a peace and quiet
On this immensity
And humility into my heart
I will receive in adoration
And I commend to You
In the quiet and the silent
You calling and calling
To I went every day
And rejected all world's
Earthly joys
And in the agony on the cross
My feet firmly put
On the stone road
To my holiness
A then the relief
My soul will receive
And will find joy
In the oil flames
Which are in lamps
These Wise Maidens
For the Lord advent
Was keeping lights

"Fire of Yahweh"
Twelve stones
As Jacob generations
Elijah arranged
To an altar build,
Then by trench he surround
And wood he put there
For the give of the calf
Victim to the Lord.
Four water jugs pour
To servants he told,
And trench filled up
All was to the edge.
That a human hand
Can't ignite to altar,
The next two times
Was four pitchers pour.
Then he raised his hands
Asking to the heavens,
To Abraham’s God,
Lord of Israel;
With humble in his heart
And with full confidence
He asked for Big Sign
Of Great grace of the Lord.
And came down fire from Heaven
Directly to the wood of altar
To the all calf’s parts
To water and the stones.
And all on the altar,
As a in hand was enclosed;
Among the gathered there
Making a big stir.
And all gathered knelt
With humility in their hearts
For his sins
Feeling great anguish.
They cried and apologized
That they were Baal's servants:
Yahweh are the Lord!
And only One God!

"Redemption ..."
By the hardness of heart I gave You to death,
Because I didn’t want listen to your teaching,
Just for the silver my heart is lost,
Instead give to You, that should be all given.
Because of my sinfulness these braided thongs
By governor order, Your body was teared for parts;
Would Satan, which falls under the skin,
From my flesh banish that way.
Because my mind impurity, Your temples My Lord
Was cutted by thorns from crown of derision.
And Your blood was flow on Your face,
To my rationality give Grace from You.
Because of my infidelity to Your love,
Your Cheeks had been insulted by hands;
Through all the words that against to You,
Throughout my life my lips proclaimed.
To each falling that I ever had
The pain was hurt You knee in trespasses;
And I could get up believing You, Lord,
Because You, O Holy, was also rise up.
Because of my sins that are body ruling
Your coat was a taken, and open Your wounds,
So that I will be redeemed from guilt
And Fire from Hell will not torn to me.
Because of that what was done by my hands
With clatter a hammer nailed You into the cross
To I will find a repent in what I do
In Your sufferings You been merciful.
Because of that steps was done by my feet
Going in the direction opposite of holiness,
Lord, Thy feet was nailed to wood of a cross,
Without any breaking in a single bone.
To the rest of my hardness been submissive,
And forever had gone from my heart,
Spear of Longinus, had penetrated Your flank,
To be sure that Your life from the body had gone.
You are still crucified, my Lord, by my life,
Because constantly I fall in weaknesses,
But in Third Day, You were rise from the grave,
And You crush deadly darkness to ashes.

“Your Blood ...”
Thy blood Blessed
My Lord
For my sins
And all the weaknesses
You poured
Ten times
The circumcision
Pointing to the sanctity
Rights from God
Granted
In Gethsemane
When in prayer
Were fell to the ground
Your sweat
When the whips
Your body tore in
Flogging's blows
Forty - minus one
Each fall
Under the weight of the cross
On stone ducts
In city of hate
When from tangles thorns
In the contempt pushed
At the defeated face
Painful flowed
When the Your clothes torn off
What clung to wounds
And feet and hands
Desecrated by steel
And when the spear
Your heart
boldly pierced
To be sure
That You died in agony

And lead each day
On life paths

And with publicans I rip up Thy garments

This – Be opened - means
Jesus said
To the deaf-mute
After this as He hands
Had pulled
Praying for him
To the ear
Put His finger
And He touched the tongue
Has looked up at the sky
To the Father
Beseeching that His prayer
Father listened
And a miracle was happen
About ones
No one hadn't should hear
Because Jesus forbidden them to speak
What was their experience
But they went and proclaimed
Zealously preached in their hearts
About the fact what on lake

"We are Judases"
We are them
A thousand times
In every day
Which is given
To us
Running from the Metro
In the rush pushing others
Occupying the last place
In the tram
With the angry voice
For vulnerable children
Cursing the neighbor
What after his dog
Is not cleaning
The old Christmas Tree
In the forest leaving
Speaking casually
Hence it came to us
Promising all
What we not to do
Chasing up to the evening
For the silver coins

In Her eyes

Reflected as a shadows
In spherical mirror

In Her young pupils
Are hidden forever
For sages infidels
That today begin to believe
