As It Ends Up In Table Fellowship

Whenever we get together as confreres in the religious order,
there’s so much to deal with burning issues and other concerns,
paucity of personnel links to inability of acquiring  new missions;
indeed, a great need that our priority speaks for more vocations.

  Like an investment in business where we cooperate with lay people,
  our ministry articulates relationships with diverse cultures,
  a key-word in evangelization walking with the poor people;
  again, it’s what the role of the church echoes in today’s generation.

Across the length of time I’ve spent in the growing mission,
one particular item that always reminds me more than anything else;
live the lifestyle of poor people - aware of their limitations,
closeness and aspirations that someday they’ll get an answer.

  God’s blessings are revealed in many dimensions and situations,
  with strong faith in Him, along with patience and optimism;
  one can move on and cope with hardly any complaint at all,
  for he believes that God knows what’s best  to every human situation.

It’s an endless stream of struggle, a continuing effort to better off the plan,
with individual’s cooperation geared towards the commonality of our vision;
that is to build God’s kingdom in our working relationship with people
where peace, love and justice would reign in every heart and soul.

  Oh, after that engaging discussion, let’s share now the food that’s served on the table,
  with all those good wines such as chateau haut gravet, montes alpha sauvignon,
  pinot grigio, les ombelles, les glaneuses, les fondettes, les genets, vallee de loire,
  made from good quality, with refreshing, toasty aroma, and weighty on the palate
  their spirit keep us warm, aligned to glorious meaning that missionary life entails.
