On the Heels of a Free Market

He’s like my idol in today’s generation
the Holy Father who’s an answer
to the growing tensions in our religion.
Catholicism in its form and nature
Pope Benedict XVI, a real option.

his gifts are shared and given witness
that spark solidness in our foundation.
As excerpts from his Spe Salvi
which means On Christian Hope
I love to quote what St Paul says
“spe salvi facti sumus”
indeed, ‘in hope we were saved’ 

His openness to the melange of issues
his sadness over weaknesses in faith
those gospel cries of peoples across globe
are invitations to realign those values
that speak in the fullness of time.
