Journey Through Lent/Poetry Tuesday – Sought and Found
In a world that seeks truth Amidst millions of lies, Where most so-called values uncouth And anything loosely flies, From where do we gather In hopes to find What is right, rather Than the easy way to bind All virtuous, righteous, and good Acts of pure selflessness From our own brotherhood? But rather crude and…

Poetry Tuesday/Journey Through Lent: Remember
Remember why He died for us So many years ago, How the mighty Lord proclaimed His glory pure and white as snow. We sometimes find it hard to understand How hard the heart does cry When we do not feel sure About why He had to die. Jesus Christ passed hung from a cross To…

Poetry Tuesday – The Greatest Gift
Everyone gathered, young and old, Around the Christmas tree topped by a star of gold. Smiles spread across faces; the air was light and warm, For it was many years ago the Blessed Babe was born. Content with what they had heard, They could now rest assured That peace and goodwill toward all men Would…
