I was in a car accident this afternoon. Everyone’s fine except my car, which is fixable but in the body shop. I’m just rattled.<\/p>\n
God is very pleased with those who recognise his goodness by reciting the Te Deum in thanksgiving whenever something out of the ordinary happens, without caring whether it may have been good or bad, as the world reckons these things. Because everything comes from the hands of our Father: so though the blow of the chisel may hurt our flesh, it is a sign of Love, as he smooths off our rough edges and brings us closer to perfection. — St Josemaria Escriva<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nTe Deum laudámus:
\nte Dóminum confitémur.
\nTe ætérnum Patrem,
\nomnis terra venerátur.
\nTibi omnes ángeli,
\ntibi cæli
\net univérsæ potestátes:
\ntibi chérubim et séraphim
\nincessábili voce proclámant:
\nSanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus,
\nDóminus Deus Sábaoth.
\nPleni sunt cæli et terra
\nmaiestátis glóriæ tuæ.
\nTe gloriósus
\napostolòrum chorus,
\nte prophetárum
\nlaudábilis númerus,
\nte mártyrum candidátus
\nlaudat exércitus.
\nTe per orbem terrárum
\nsancta confitétur Ecclésia,
\nPatrem imménsæ maiestátis;
\nvenerándum tuum verum
\net únicum Fílium;
\nSanctum quoque
\nParáclitum Spíritum.
\nTu rex glóriæ, Christe.
\nTu Patris sempitérnus es Filius.
\nTu, ad liberándum susceptúrus hóminem,
\nnon horrúisti Virginis úterum.
\nTu, devícto mortis acúleo,
\naperuísti credéntibus regna cælórum.
\nTu ad déxteram Dei sedes,
\nin glória Patris.
\nIudex créderis esse ventúrus.
\nTe ergo qu\u01fdsumus,
\ntuis fámulis súbveni,
\nquos pretióso sánguine redemísti.
\nÆtérna fac cum sanctis tuis
\nin glória numerári.
\nSalvum fac pópulum tuum, Dómine,
\net bénedic hereditáti tuæ.
\nEt rege eos, et extólle illos
\nusque in ætérnum.
\nPer síngulos dies benedícimus te;
\net laudámus nomen tuum
\nin s\u01fdculum, et in s\u01fdculum s\u01fdculi.
\nDignáre, Dómine,
\ndie isto sine peccáto nos custodíre.
\nMiserére nostri, Dómine, miserére nostri.
\nFiat misericórdia tua,
\nDómine, super nos,
\nquemádmodum sperávimus in te.
\nIn te, Dómine, sperávi:
