Japanese Flag

Land of the Rising Sun.

The national flag of Japan is a rectangular white banner bearing a crimson-red disc at its center. This flag is officially called Nisshōki (日章旗, the "sun-rise flag"), but is more commonly known in Japan as Hinomaru (日の丸, the "circle of the sun"). It embodies the country's sobriquet (nickname): Land of the Rising Sun.

POEMS

While reading "Um Deus que dança - itinerários para a oração" by His Eminence  José Tolentino Mendonça, Librarian and Archivist of the Holy Roman Church,

I came across a reference to a Portuguese poet, Ruy Belo.

I was struck by the beauty of his writing and poems (Ruy Belo), I found some here,online :

RUY BELO - ESCRITAS.ORG

NOMEEI-TE NO MEIO DOS MEUS SONHOS

Nomeei-te no meio dos meus sonhos

chamei por ti na minha solidão

troquei o céu azul pelos teus olhos

e o meu sólido chão pelo teu amor.

WOW !

PRAYER BY SAINT ANTHONY OF LISBON (Padua)

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, To have a deep soul relationship with another, To be loved thoroughly and exclusively. 

But to a Christian, God says, "No, not until you are satisfied, Fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone, With giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me. 

With having an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone. 

Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, Will you be capable of the perfect human relationship, That I have planned for you. 

You will never be united to another Until you are united with Me. 

Exclusive of anyone or anything else. 

Exclusive of any other desires or longings. 

I want you to stop planning, to stop wishing, and allow Me to give you The most thrilling plan existing . . . one you cannot imagine. 

I want you to have the best.

Please allow Me to bring it to you. 

You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things. 

Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I am. 

Keep listening and learning the things that I tell you. 

Just wait, that's all. 

Don't be anxious, don't worry Don't look around at things others have gotten Or that I have given them Don't look around at the things you think you want, Just keep looking off and away up to Me, Or you'll miss what I want to show you. 

And then, when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love Far more wonderful than you could dream of. 

You see, until you are ready, and until the one I have for you is ready, I am working even at this moment To have both of you ready at the same time. Until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me And the life I prepared for you, You won't be able to experience the love that exemplified your relationship with Me. 

And this is perfect love.

And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love, I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me. And to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection and love that I offer you with Myself. 

Know that I love you utterly.

I AM God. 

Believe it and be satisfied"
