Fr. Anthony Irineo, OAR shared his reflections on the song “You are Mine” “I will come to you in the silence”. Elijah encountered God in a gentle breeze ( 1 Kg 19: 9-18). Silent moment with God. Prayer before Blessed Sacrament. “I will lift you from all your fears” Jesus said: “courage. Do not be afraid (Mt. 14:28). “You will hear my voice. I claim you as my choice”. The sheep follow their shepherd because they recognize his voice. (cf. Jh. 10: 1-4). “Be still and know I am here”. “Be quiet before Yahweh and wait patiently for him” (Ps. 37:7). “Pause a while and know that I am God” (Ps. 46: 10). In silence and quiet one feels God’s presence. “I am hope for all who are hopeless”. For you alone are my hope, Lord, Yahweh I have trusted you since my youth” (Ps. 71:5). Trust in God when everything seems hopeless. “I am eyes for all who long to see”. Jesus asked the blind Bartimaeus: “what do you want me to do for you? The blind man answered: “Master, let me see again” (cf. Mt. 10: 51-52). To see again, we need God’s “eyes”. See the world again through God’s eyes. “In the shadows of the night, I will be your light”. Yahweh went before them…by night in the form of a pillar of fire to give them light; thus they could continue their march by day and by night” (Ex. 13:21). To show them their way so they would not lose their way. “Come and rest in me”. Jesus said: “Come to me, al you who labour and are overburdened and I will give you rest” (Mt. 11: 28). The retreat is one way of resting in the Lord. “Do not be afraid, I am with you”. God told Moses: “I shall be with you” (Ex. 3: 12). And to Jeremiah Yahweh said: “Do not be afraid of them for I am with you to protect you” (Jer. 1:8). In the midst of today’s burning issues of corruption, RH Bill, open pit mining, etc. prophets should not be afraid to tell the people, especially those in power, what God wants. “I have called you each by name”. Yahweh says: “I have called you by your name, you are mine” (Is. 43:1). Our personal, intimate relationship with God. “Come and follow me, I will bring you home” . The parable of the lost sheep (cf. Lk. 15: 1-7). “I love you and you are mine”. See Isaiah 43:1. We belong to God. What honor! #YouAreMine #FaveLiturgicalSong
