I Delight In My Blessed Modesty
The very attractions the eyes perceive...
are probably those impassive inclinations we pursue;
extravagant possessions
and unnecessary cravings:
disquiet our very short existence
and disintegrate our modest values!
I delight in my blessed modesty,
the Omnipotent Lord,through His truthful Word,
teaches me rewarding honesty;
my worst obsession was
and still is to preserve it
in a derisive world!
Life doesn't have an eternity here...
and why should I be dominated by fear?...
When I am too spiritually fulfilled
to revere superflous things,
because my necessities of life
shouldn't be greater than others'!
I delight in my blessed modesty,
and as Jesus did, I praise it highly...
to stir Satan's anger toward me:
how clever can He Be?...
Can a vague and sinful life be lived to its extremity?
