UBIQUITOUS GOD

 

Omnipresent,

Omnipotent

Omniscient being

Ever present,

All powerful

All knowing, all seeing

Awesome,

Ubiquitous God

Of our spiritual wellbeing

Of everlasting life,

Salvation guaranteeing

GOD WINDS THE CLOCK OF LIFE

 

God winds the clock of life,

It is wound but once

And when set in motion,

At the moment the second hand

Begins its sweep

It can be neither slowed

Nor hurried

There is no hint of duration

No preset point

When the hands cease

The only certainty

Is that the time piece will stop

All you can do is be ready for that day

Leave nothing unsaid

Nothing undone

Place your faith in God

And not the timepiece

Live your allotted time fully

And have no regrets

When the movement stops

At the appointed hour

A CROSS FOR YOU

 

A cross for you,

A symbol of your sacrifice

A cross for me,

A sign of my devotion

Across the veil

To the place beyond

To bathe together

In everlasting love

ONE OF THE TWELVE - SIMON THE ZEALOT

 

One of the twelve

Simon the Zealot

Witness of the ascension

Who then spread the Gospels

Far and wide

Was Martyred in Beirut

In the Roman province of Syria

 

Feast Day October 28th

WE’LL REACH OUR GOD

We’ll reach our God,

In heavens palaces

Leaving our bodies,

Heavy like stone,

And take flight

On angels wing

And bathe in His glory

For all eternity

THE CHOIRS OF HEAVENLY HOSTS

The Choirs of Heavenly hosts

The angels, Archangels

Principalities and Authorities

The Virtues, Dominions,

Thrones or Orphanim

The Cherubim and Seraphim

The Holy Spirit

My lord Jesus Christ

And the Heavenly Father

Protect me all my days

CRISPIN AND CRISPINIAN

 

Born to a noble Roman family

In the 3rd century AD,

Crispin and Crispinian,

Persecuted for their faith,

Fled their homeland

And travelled to Gaul

And preached Christianity

To the Gaul’s in Soissons.

They made shoes by night

To support themselves

And also aided the poor

But their evangelical success

Brought them to the attention

Of a jealous Rictus Varus,

Governor of Belgic Gaul,

Who brought their good works

To a savage end
