BE AT PEACE WITH LIFE

 

Be at peace with life

Live in the light

For although they

Are out of sight

We are in safe hands

Both day and night

As they walk among us

The Angels of the light

ST JAMES THE MOOR SLAYER

 

On a battlefield in Galicia

Upon the cry of Santiago

The saint appeared

Upon a steed of brilliant white

St James the greater

Was then transformed

From a fisher of men

To Santiago Matamoros,

St. James the Moor slayer

HELL DOES NOT HAVE TO BE

 

Hell does not have to be

A fiery pit of brimstone

Hell is merely

The absence of God

ONE OF THE TWELVE - JUDAS ISCARIOT

 

One of the twelve

Judas Iscariot

The betrayer

The taker of coins

The lost soul

Satan’s pawn

Hanged himself

Replaced as an apostle

By Matthias

HOLY UNMERCENARIES

 

Holy unmercenaries

Is an epithet applying to

Christian saints,

Who did not accept

Payment of any kind

For good deeds done

Which is I think the very least

One should expect from a saint

ONE OF THE TWELVE - BARTHOLOMEW THE APOSTLE

 

One of the twelve

Bartholomew the Apostle

From the village of Cana

On the Sea of Galilee

Witness of the ascension

Who spread the Gospels

Far and wide

After converting Polymius

The King of Armenia

He was put to death

By the Kings brother

Martyred on the cross

In Albanopolis in Armenia

 

Feast Day August 24th

CANDLE OF HIS LIGHT

 

Candle of His light

Cast your goodness

In your steady glow

Across the sinful world

And bath us in love
