Disciples Set Out

Friends follow the fraternal advice of a bosom friend. The disciples followed each word of Jesus till the end. As birds and beasts, on divine providence, they did depend Kingdom's sake, like adventurers, all pains they did transcend Clasping to their bosoms, with divine love, they healed the sick. Raising the dead, as though waking the sleeping, was no trick. Lepers were cleansed. Demons, like leaves in storms, did quickly flick. God's kingdom, like a classic castle, was built brick by brick. Like rain from above, they gained well-being and elation. Freed from mammon's hold, they obtained divine revelation. Bound in grace, physique, and psyche, attained transformation. Spun in faith, they realised body-soul integration. The heaven of existence they found in Jesus alone Like seeds of spring in fertile fields, graces in them was sown.
