Day of archangels
Saint Michael is still fighting
Victory assured
Below is a great piece of religious art by Daniel Mitsui. A St. Michael in the Japanese style.
Some days don’t feel fun
One must seek perspective, then
Time to count blessings
Humility is out of fashion
“Me first!” has become the passion
Being last has lost some luster
“I’m a winner!” proclaimed with bluster
But as you go about your day
Maybe take some time to pray
When you approach that pearly gate
You’re last in line, won’t need to wait
(Based on today’s Gospel, Lk 14:1, 7-14)
Qoheleth warns us
Vanity of vanities
Vanity, all things
First Communion Day
Tom’s faith journey continues
God bless you, my boy
The news will scare you
TV screams of war and death
Turn it off and pray
Tears will cease flowing
Those who mourn will find comfort
Peace will bless you soon.
