Love of God and Love of Neighbor

Love of God and Love of Neighbor 

With heart, soul, mind, and strength, we adore

The Lord our God, forevermore

And as we love Him with all our might

We're called to love our neighbor in sight

For love of God and love of neighbor blend

Inseparable, a true Christian's trend

Caring for the poor, the vulnerable too

Reflecting God's love, in all we do

Christ's selfless love, a guiding light

Impels us to live, for Him alone tonight

May our love shine bright, a beacon true

Inspired by Christ, forever anew.

Queen of Heaven

Queen of Heaven

Mary, Queen of Heaven's throne,

Assumed and crowned, now reigns alone,

With virtues holy, she adorns her soul,

A queen of heaven, in glory whole.

On earth, she lived as humble servant true,

Now pours down blessings, with love anew,

In rosary prayers, we hail her name,

"Holy Queen" we say, with reverence and fame.

In Easter's joy, we pray to her as well,

"Queen of Heaven", her story to tell,

Of sufferings shared, and glory gained,

A cross to bear, a crown to obtain.

In litany's call, she's queen of all,

Angels, saints, and families, one and all,

On earth, we honor her, our queen and mother dear,

Who reigns in heaven, and sheds tears.

With influence over the King's throne,

She opens treasures, for us to atone,

Oh, privileged sinners, to have her as our guide,

A mother on earth, a queen in heaven's tide.

Never Ending

Never Ending

Greed's insatiable thirst, a never-ending sea

Desiring more, yet never satisfied, we see

Contentment's peace, lost in the haze

Chasing more, in endless daze

Jealousy's dark shadow, corrodes the heart

Comparing lives, a toxic art

Counting others' blessings, instead of our own

Blinding us to the good, that's already sown

Let's learn to appreciate, who we are

Embracing our uniqueness, like a shining star

Praising God for what we have, not what we lack

Finding peace in contentment, no need to look back

May our hearts be filled, with gratitude and cheer

Focusing on our own path, without a jealous tear

For in the end, it's not what we have that matters most

But the love and joy we share, that forever boasts.

Dinal Destiny

Fnal Destiny

Wealth's fleeting charm, a temporary hold

Can't buy our way, to a heavenly gold

Character and love, our true destiny shape

Not riches or gold, but a heart that escapes

The rich man's mistake, a lesson to share

Attachment to wealth, left him with nothing to spare

Lazarus' faith, a humble heart did bear

A treasure in heaven, beyond compare

St. Francis' example, a path to emulate

Detachment and love, a true Christian state

Love God and neighbor, a command to fulfill

A heart of generosity, our true wealth to build

Let's reflect on our ways, and ask with sincerity

Are we using our gifts, to set humanity free?

May love and detachment, guide us on our way

To a treasure in heaven, that never fades away.

Young Man

Young Man

A young man came, with enthusiasm bright

Seeking eternal life, with all his might

He followed rules, with a moral stride

But lacked the love, to step aside

His wealth possessed him, his heart was tied

He couldn't let go, he couldn't hide

The cost was high, the challenge great

He walked away, with a sorrowful state

Good intentions, aren't enough to share

Sacrifices must be made, to show we care

For the poor, the needy, the ones in pain

We must give up, our earthly gain

Jesus invites us, to examine our heart

To let go of attachments, that tear us apart

From the love of God, from eternal life

And find true treasure, in His strife.

Bread of Eternal Life

Bread of Eternal life

Living Bread from heaven's gate,

Jesus, the sustenance for our soul's state.

Eucharist, the food that endures forevermore,

Nourishing our spiritual lives, on earth and in heaven's shore.

Transforming us, into His loving embrace,

A foretaste of heaven, in every sacred space.

Manna for the journey, through life's desert sand,

Strengthening our faith, in this hostile land.

With every reception, our hearts beat as one,

With Jesus, the source, of all holiness begun.

Eternal life's sustenance, in every Eucharistic share,

Safely guiding us, to our heavenly lair.

Doctor

Doctor 

A healer's hands, now laid to rest

In a place of trust, she was betrayed, unblessed

Her uniform, a symbol of care

But in the shadows, evil lurked, unaware

Blame shifted, like falling sand

From the perpetrators, to her helpless hand

The system failed, in silence and shame

A life lost, in a place of healing and claim

May truth prevail, and justice reign

For the fallen, and the ones who remain

May we learn, from this tragic fate

To protect and serve, with a nobler state.

Little Children

Little Children 

Little ones brought to Jesus' feet,

Seeking blessings, a parent's sweet treat.

A lesson for us, to guide them with care,

And bring them to Jesus, with love to share.

For spiritual growth, they need His grace,

To flourish in faith, and find their place.

Like the apostles, let us not hinder their way,

But bridge the gap, come what may.

Let us not cause scandals, or lead astray,

But teach the young, come Sunday's day.

For if we fail, we'll answer to the call,

Of a generation, lost, without His all.

So let us welcome, with open arms,

The little ones, and keep them from harm.

And bring them to Jesus, with love so true,

For theirs is the kingdom, forever anew.

The Flow

The Flow

Like birds of a feather, we align,

Best love, you and me, a heart-to-heart rhyme.

Childhood memories, innocent and free,

Baby, we flow, like a love river to the sea.

With every hardship, our love flows strong,

To freedom, where our hearts belong.

The power of our love, a unity to share,

Flows from God, who is love, and shows we care.

This flow is pure, no debris in sight,

No lies, no manipulation, just love's delight.

Ask Eternity, Ask Everlasting, ask the sea,

The Ocean of love is our witness, forever free.

Marriage

Marriage 

In the beginning, God's plan unfolded,

Male and female, a union to mold,

One flesh, one heart, one soul, one mind,

Together forever, a bond divine.

Jesus spoke of unity, indissoluble too,

What God joins, let no one break through,

A sacrament, not just a human tie,

A union of three, with God, we fly.

Not just a contract, but a communion true,

With God and each other, in love anew,

A sanctuary, where God dwells within,

Not a battlefield, where love gives in.

Love sustains, through every test of time,

Forgiveness, understanding, a heart that's aligned,

No room for ego, hurt, or doubt to creep,

Only God's love, in a marriage that sleeps.

Keep God in your marriage, and He'll keep you too,

A lifelong bond, a love that shines through.

Mary and Heaven

Mary and Heaven

Mary, a vessel of heaven's grace

Contained the King, in her sacred space

Her "yes" brought heaven to earth below

Uniting divine and human, in a love that glows

Now heaven embraces her, body and soul

The Assumption's mystery, makes her whole

United with her Son, in glory and light

A crowning point, to her life's pure delight

Her journey of faith, a path we're called to roam

Fixing our gaze, on heaven, our eternal home

Mary's reward, a promise to us all

Faithful obedience, leads to heaven's hall

Her purity and humility, inspire us to strive

For holiness and surrender, to God's will alive

Mary, our guide, to heaven's gate

Showing us the way, to our eternal state.

Fraternal Correction

Fraternal Correction 

A brother's fault, a gentle hand

Correction offered, with love to stand

Not judgment or condemnation's might

But guidance and care, to bring new light

In private, we speak, with kindness true

Avoiding gossip, and harm anew

No public shame, or hurtful pride

But a calm and open heart, side by side

Timing is key, when emotions subside

A gentle approach, with understanding's tide

Solutions offered, with a helping hand

Not just fault-finding, but a loving stand

Humility's cloak, we must wear with care

Recognizing our own faults, we must share

No righteousness, or holier-than-thou

But a brother's love, that seeks to renew

May our corrections, be motivated by love

A desire to help, sent from above

May we offer guidance, with a gentle tone

And help each other, to grow and be known.

Divine Logic

Divine Logic

A stray sheep wanders, lost and alone,

The Shepherd searches, leaving ninety-nine to roam.

He seeks the one, with love so true,

Every soul precious, in His eyes, anew.

Unlike human hearts, that count the gain,

God's mercy seeks, the one in pain.

No small loss, in His divine sight,

Every soul matters, in His loving light.

With joy, He finds, the lost one's face,

And welcomes home, to a warm embrace.

We're precious, honored, in His sight,

A blessed feeling, to know His love so bright.
