Take and Receive
Take and receive, O Lord, my liberty.
Take all my will, my mind, and memory.
All things I hold, and all I own are thine.
Thine was the gift, to thee, I all resign.
Do thou direct and govern all and sway,
Do what thou wilt command, and I obey.
Only thy grace, thy love on me bestow,
These make me rich, all else will I forego.

Check out the songs from the Jesuit Music Ministry, Jeff, they are equally good. You might like "Out Of Roads" by Arnel Aquino, SJ.
Its from the album Something More -http://www.eaglescorner.com/cgi-bin/store/getProduct.cgi?product_id=3375
Thanks for the tip! I'll check that out. :-)
I have a blog on Matatics. Let me know what you think of his stance
After my little weekend retreat at Warburton aimed at helping one to sanctify everyday work, I'm all fired up! So just letting you know that Ive already let lp cruz know what I think of Matatics stance.
Thanks Venerable. Boy I wish I could go on a retreat again. My last retreat was more than a decade ago!
My previous retreat was nearly 13 years ago! And every year since I always managed to have something else on... until this year when, in a very weak moment (Thank you Lord), I said yes!
It was a "silent" retreat so during meals we had a communal reading from a book, which happened to be Surprised By Truth Vol 3. One of the testimonies in this is by Pete Vere who went over to the sedevacantist-style side and by the Grace of God came back to Rome.
I've read your next post on Matatics (who visited Melbourne on a speaking tour about 10 years ago). You might get some interesting ideas from matt1618 at his site:

In fact this entire site is excellent. I only found it yesterday when doing some research on a bit of "homework" lp cruz had given me.
If you haven't read any of the Surprised by Truth books, take my word for it - they are great. Taking that tip from the retreat, I read one of the testimonies (the conversion of Tim Staples) from SBT Vol.1 at the tea table last night and though I feared it might end up a bit like that picture of your Francis asleep, my kids were actually riveted!
