Be Thou My Vision

Ancient Irish Catholic hymn that today still speaks to the open heart, and sings what the New Evangelization longs to share with a lost and lonely world!

"Be thou my Vision, oh Lord of my heart. Naught be all else to me save that thou art."



Pope Benedict XVI implores us to share this vision...

"As we know, in vast areas of the world the Faith is in danger of being snuffed out like a flame that no longer has any sustenance. We are at a profound crisis of faith, at a loss of a religious sense that constitutes the greatest challenge for the Church of today. The renewal of the faith must therefore be the priority in the undertaking of the whole Church in our times. I hope that the Year of Faith can contribute, with the cordial collaboration of all the members of the People of God, to bring God back anew to this world and to open to men an access to the faith, to a reliance on the God who loved us to the end (cf John 13,1), in Christ Jesus, crucified and risen."
