THE SILENCE OF GOD

POEMS ARE SONGS OF THE HEART AND SOUL
Let our minds be silenced  

With the thoughts of God

To know His will and be our own.

Let our hearts be silenced

With the mystery of God at work

To crush and pin it

So new blood could flow to bring endurance and love.

Let our mouths be silenced

God’s words purify our lips

To speak his goodness and praise

That will bring glory to His name.

Let our bodies be silenced

With the peace of God

To bring fullness of life

Lively faces and smiles.

TRUE FRIEND

POEMS ARE SONGS OF THE HEART AND SOUL

Where there are joys

And broken hearts

Where there are laughters

And hostilities

True friends stand by your side

To let you be

And love the way you are.

But…

Very seldom in this world

True friends can be found

At the dawning of the day

Friendships and formed

At the end of the night

Friendships last.

Jesus is the only true friend

Who you are

And who you will be

He loves you and me

At all times

… and for all seasons

He is a true friend.

PRAYER OF A LONGING

POEMS ARE SONGS OF THE HEART AND SOUL

I wish I could die so I could be united with you forever

How I desire that the time will come to me early,

So that I could see you face to face

Whom I desire to meet since before…

Lord God, my father, you who directed my life

You who saved me and rescued me from illnesses and evil ways

Make me more and ever entrusting to your loving protection

May I not falter in my faith

May I always rise from the falls and failures I make

May I always put my eyes to the ways of Christ

and make my life be vulnerable to others.

Time is passings away

I myself will pass away

I pray not to pay attention to passing splendor of this world

But instead, gain riches for Christ

So when the end time will come

I could bring to Jesus only, the riches that will make his kingdom rich.

All these I ask in the name of Jesus Christ

Through the intercession of Mary. Amen.
