Divine Grace


"Act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8)

Divine Grace
Divine grace bestowing,
so wonderfully freeing
with Christ’s Spirit infusing

An awed excitement knowing
it’s slightest touch is a revealing
of an awesome understanding

An instant forgiving
a raising of fallen living
by loves command sealing

An eager awaiting
An inner groaning
An eternal longing

Leading
to cooperating,
to caring,
to justice sharing

Meekly, humbly, walking

into

A most gentle loving
A serenity of trusting
A certainty of hoping
A crescendo of believing

A fullness of a loving plans completing.

I am glad God dwells with the weak and the disturbed and the sinners. (me)
I still worry I am in for a right tellin' off, for getting everything so confused in my life though! I still feel like I used to at school some days. I used to kick the teacher at five and try and cling to my mom. Actually, I was age six before I went to school regularly haha! I was always going to be trouble!

""Act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8)"

Some days I manage that. So, I'll continue to have hope.

I'm glad you're here Father Pat and that God has called and equipped you. I don't know what would have become of me without priests. Without you.

God bless and keep you.
