Two Poems: Festive Religion and The Remaining Farewell
The Remaining Farewell
I do not know what I will say when I’ve to face my remaining farewell –
Unsure if anybody is aware of for sure 이별!
I’ve considered it, even practiced such traces as:
“See you quickly, baboon!” or
“Goodbye alligator!” to make issues light on the dwelling.
How a couple of easy however critical: “By for now.”
You see it isn’t so easy when it comes proper all the way down to it.
I’ve even taken a personal stock, like St. Paul did, to look at what I would depart behind.
I imply, will I be leaving issues higher or worse? That’s to say: extra good than dangerous or extra dangerous than good behind?
That is the lengthy goodbye I am speaking about, not the one the place one goes to the grocery retailer and returns with a bag full.
That is the one, one should belief the whole lot to someone, and I imply the whole lot, and that someone is the Lord; the final adios that Pope Francis calls the ultimate “Addio!”
So I ask, what am I to say on that short day?
To put in writing as a ditty or be aware, my final phrases on earth?
I’ve come to the conclusion in the present day to depart this within the arms of the Holy Spirit.
Why?
As a result of it’s the final teachings I’ll ever obtain on earth, and it have to be taught by the Holy Spirit, and by no different, and taught at that particular second, why?
Is it not mentioned: he who takes the improper highway makes the journey twice? And my expensive pals, there won’t be any twice this time.

Festive Religion
I’ve tried to dwell life festively, but I’ve added: perseverance, loyalty, unity, coronary heart and feeling to my menu, too!
I’ve tried to share my wealth-
And I’ve by no means forgotten the Church-as indolent as I could also be in attending-is Christ’s bride.
Celebrating life is one factor, as agrees Pope Francis, however provides: Bishops want no use faith for one thing missing, and for nuns and monks to cease vice, envy, and jealousy-
He tells us to learn Mathew, the Beatitudes and Deuteronomy for first fruits.
To me, all of it comes down to 2 issues: first, there might be an excessive amount of of factor, and second:
Heaven assist us, for what men do within the name of excellent!
