CQOD MOBILE Tuesday, August 20, 2019 Feast of Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, Teacher, 1153 Commemoration of William & Catherine Booth, Founders of the Salvation Army, 1912 & 1890 Meditation: In him was life, and that life was the light of men. —John 1:4 (NIV) Quotation: O Jesus, King most wonderful! O Conqueror renowned! O Source of peace ineffable, In whom all joys are found:   When once you visit darkened hearts Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanity departs, Then kindles love divine.   O Jesus, light of all below, The fount of life and fire, Surpassing all the joys we know, All that we can desire:   May ev’ry heart confess your name, Forever you adore, And, seeking you, itself inflame To seek you more and more!   Oh, may our tongues forever bless, May we love you alone And ever in our lives express The image of your own! ...
