Tribute: Brother Lawrence Aka Nicholas Herman
Europe claims a lengthy list of lusty wars
One graced the Church with Brother Lawrence
A giant of a man, hated being dishwasher and cobbler
At a large monastery in Lorraine, France
After the Thirty Years War, intimacy with Jesus
Made him forget every pain, his lame leg, isolation
As he came to know and see Grace face to face
Practising God's Presence, inspiring every denomination
PRAYER:
If you are moved to, Let's agree in spirit, as we pray Matthew 7:7
For all who are in need of healing, to arrest THAT sinking sad feeling
And intercede for fathers, moms, siblings scheduled for heart surgery
All through this Marvellous Month of May, faith is revealing
The Face of Grace, ever giving, for some, Jehovah Rafah, Love Amazing
In the Son, as much in Father and Spirit: ever-giving Holy Trinity! amen
