Exultate, justi

我告诸善人，欢跃主怀裏。             善人思无邪，讚主最相宜。

何以颂主德？鼓琴复鼓瑟。             何以咏主荣？新歌奏一阕。

弹者尽其艺，歌声务和协。             主言皆正直，主行皆笃实。

所乐惟仁义，慈爱被八极。

发号成诸天，嘘气生万物。             海水壶中贮，诸渊库中集。

众生当畏主，宇宙亦震慄。             主乃造化宰，万有应声出。

列国与兆民，千算亦何益？

何如主一算，万古永不易。

奉主之国必发达，承恩之民安且逸。

主在天庭上，垂视众生灵。             主自圣宫中，俯察万国民。

既造人灵心，亦欲观其行。             君王兵虽多，不能必制胜。

勇士力拔山，不能保其命。

马萧萧，车辚辚，穷兵黩武殃及身。

神目所青睐，惟在虔敬人。             一心望主者，必得沐甘霖。

大难得不死，饑馑亦能生。

吾魂惟盼主，主乃卫身盾。

所乐惟天主，所赖惟圣名。

鉴我耿耿望，赐我无穷恩。

21

It seems almost surreal. I’m 21? I don’t feel different: not like a butterfly metamorphosing out of a cocoon. What is 21 but an artificially determined human barrier? And yet… I’m not sure I want to be 21.

So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!

Kyrie eleison.

Okay I’ve arrived! And this is short. Everything has been really hectic, I’ve been doing lots of shopping (which is lots of fun! but also really tiring and exhausting). Settling in has been great: my dorm room is oldish looking but a lot bigger than I expected so whoopee!

Sunday I went with the parents to Washington National Cathedral which was nice, even though there was no choir and service was pretty low church. Amazingly, I got selected to carry the food basket! Lol.

This is my room:

Kyrie eleison.
