CHRIST IS ALL, AND HE IS MINE

Why should I fear the darkest hour,
Or tremble at the tempters power;
When Jesus is my Might Tower?
Christ is all, and He is mine.

Tho’ hard the fight,
Why quit the field;
Why should I shrink, why should I yield;
When Jesus is my Mighty Shield?
Christ is all, and He is mine.
When creature comforts fade and die,
The world may weep, but why should ?
Jesus still lives, and He is nigh.
Christ is all, and He is mine.

I know not what may soon betide,
Or how my wants may be supplied;
But Jesus knows, and will provide.
Christ is all, and He is mine.

Tho’ faint my prayers, and cold my love,
My steadfast hope shall not remove;
While Jesus intercedes above.
Christ is all, and He is mine.

Against me, earth and hell combine;
But on my side, is Power Divine.
In the darkest hour, His glory shines.
Christ is all, and He is mine.

Dorothy Day is the co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement. She is a model pro-life lay witness and intercessor. She was chosen as the 20th century's most outstanding lay Catholic. Cardinal John O’Connor of New York introduced the cause for her canonization and said, “It is with great joy that I announce the approval of the Holy See for the Archdiocese of New York to open the Cause for the Beatification and Canonization of Dorothy Day. With this approval comes the title Servant of God. What a gift to the Church in New York and to the Church Universal this is!”
Dorothy Day

The Church is where Christ is - Colossians 1:18

Colossians 1:18 And he [Christ] is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Colossians 1:18 CLEARLY TEACHES CORRECTLY that the Church consists of ALL believers in Christ, and that he [Christ] is the head of the body, THE CHURCH, which is HIS Church, not man's church.

Impossible to lose one's Salvation once Saved By God

John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

Dorothy Day quotes : I firmly believe that our salvation depends on the poor.

Salvation is:

John: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Our salvation is not dependent on the poor, neither can the poor be a ransom on the Cross for the forgiveness of my sins.

12.My strength returns to me with my cup of coffee and the reading of the psalms.

Me, too, Dorothy! When I'm having a terrible time, there are two things I do: clean house, and read the psalms. The psalms have everything a soul wants to say.

>>Those who want Jesus without his Church not only seek him in vain, they risk reinventing him altogether.<<

Those who would attempt to limit Jesus to on organized religion are walking on dangerous ground.

I read an article about her once. It was, as I recollect, in Sojourners.
