Love Thy Neigbour

Christians are being persecuted how sad their life's and families being destroyed scenes of poor souls starving in the desert classed as worthless objects lower than an animal my gentle mother tears in her eyes said to me were is the faith in love in this awful world I agreed saying your so right soldiers protecting oilfields liquid gold the objects of greed in nations none of this is right its our planet now I speak the voice of a christian and proud also proud I am of the blessed cross, baptism seals fate in his holy name, I would heed the call if called to battle, I would be proud to serve in your name Lord, hear our prayers If and when the calling all I ask of you father forgive me my sins because in the heart I have offended thee in the past please kneeling before your cross guilty having sinned and taken the Lord's name The pope has spoken out to our world with a plea voice of love father our understanding this is not right bowing my head in prayer at this earth's shame saying now what has, anyone been doing to resolve this as when our holy father from the rock he speaks A situation in desperate times a crusade is what we need soldiers will die with honor at his command we kneel servants of the Lord to protect these innocent people love and loving God's children make this world revolve houses of worship have been destroyed vile acts desecration of the holy cross grail of life and loves sanctuary They show no compassion as they spit in our faces these suffering children of god die for us in our sins turning a blind eye to the truth who our redeemer is will none of us even governments take on the sacrifice to protect these people innocent women and little children To see the face of the devil himself at work because I do in a calling I would sacrifice my life in our Lord's holy name I would join the crusade in a heartbeat to protect and I am a trained soldier rusty Available anytime for what is right just for the sake of peace I pray to God that he gives the answers to the world we should do what is morally right as we will all answer to the Father and Son in the end with the holy spirits we seek his redemption at the gates of heaven

I agree with Eileen. You have such a big heart and you really let it lose in writing this one. Love Thy Neighbor is such a simple statement... and yet it's so hard to come by.

Liam...what a write, my dear. Your voice is a voice crying out in the wilderness of John the Baptist of old. Who will listen? I know the atrocities of which you speak...No one will come to the rescue. They haven't in the past....they won't now. It is sad. May He have mercy on our souls. Your valor and courage are commendable. Hugs
