Holy Family

We cannot separate Mother Mary and Saint Joseph They’re having so much connection With the mystery of Incarnation of Eternal God St. Joseph, being guardian of the Virgin’s spotless honor Foster-father of the Divine Babe Mother Mary’s family thought be made known She might not be stoned by the Jews as an adulteress Thirdly, that in her flight; have the comfort of a husband St. Ignatius add yet a fourth reason namely that is birth might hid from the devil Looking for Him to be born of a wife and not of a Virgin Gracious God, I pray for my parents For all family members who have positively influenced my life For the happiness of good memories For the forgiveness of those who have wronged me And for peace of heart with those to whom I did not or could not say “I’m sorry” For all the deceased members of my family Your great mercy Lord You may forgive their sins And welcome them into eternal life Written 6222018 Poetry Form: Terzanelle (19 lines poem)

Thank you Faraz, not just forgiveness and mercy but to thank Him too for all the graces He's giving us. Ang in praying we should all pray on the next poem I'll post. I can't post it yet because there's no Fable Poetry Form yet and I told poetrysoup to add Fable as a poetry form. Please watch out for it, thank you.
