Saints Poems

Borrowed Saints

i sit behind the bodega counter,
breath trapped in wax and soft flicker 
watch the old men tap pockets
for lotto dreams and loose change faith.

they light me when the landlord knocks too hard,
when the roaches dance too bold,
when the rent feels like a knife under the door.

i swallow the prayers like chiclets 
sweet for a second,

ST FRANCIS AND ST CLARE : TWIN SOULS : PART 2

 no turning back at nineteen years of 
age with bonded Love no eyes could 
see or earthly arms could hold dear
into a fold of aligning human Heart 
with Divine injunction none could part
self dies and dies some more mere cart
dark night after dark night only He 
could lift in Time convoluted sore 
by suffering

ST FRANCIS AND ST CLARE : TWIN SOULS : PART 1

  separated by vows of abstinence but 
forever bonded by Light entwined 
two parallel Orders twinned
in material poverty firm endured 
with One Heart beating to  
missions of Love ordained 
in living Truth never adjourned 

vessels of opposite gender 
each frolicking happy dancing 
and singing as children of 
holy futures Assisi blessed

Life after death

Death strikes with its wicked grin,
Deep grief and sorrow it brings,
Flights to heaven then begin,
When our souls fly without wings,
Each saint bears a halo ring,
They reign there as queens and kings,
With Angels near a calm spring.

Blessed Be the Restorer of His Saints

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty,
Who delivereth His generals from the snares of the enemy.

In their great fall, He forsook them not,
But upheld them with His hand and called them once more.
He is the Shepherd who leaves not His own,
The Watchman who allows no harm to overtake His chosen.

Blessed be His Word;
Wise are all His

Premium MemberP Honoring the Saints Relics and Images

The 1st Commandment does not forbid us to honor the saints in Heaven

As long as we do not give them the honor that belongs to Eternal God alone

When we pray to the saints we ask them to offer their prayers to Eternal God for us

We do not pray to the crucifix

Or the images of Father

Premium MemberL The Communion of Saints and Forgiveness of Sins

“The Communion of Saints” is meant the union of the faithful on earth
The b;essed in Heaven
And the souls in the purgatory
With Father Christ as their Head
The word “Saints means “the holy ones”
The Baptism gives us the beginning of holiness
And Heaven is for those who are perfectly holy
By “the forgiveness of sins” in the Apostles Creed

Premium MemberCALLING ALL SAINTS

No matter how you look at it…in this picture we’re trying to paint…
our world…our canvas will always be filled with devils and with saints.

What makes this difficult…as we take out our brushes and sit down to paint…
Is that we are humans meaning we can be both…a devil and a saint.

The news is filled with stories

Premium MemberFlowers, Saints and Seasons

Bright, bright light of dawn, surrounded by the tall, tall flowers.
A newborn flower, newly drawn while O’er me others tower.
A life began amidst so many, cradled close to mother’s plenty.

Mild, mild days of childhood, surrounded by the fresh, fresh flowers.
A vibrant flower ‘midst the wildwood while on me blessings shower.
A life so good amidst so

Premium MemberJESUS OUR KING

The sky remains silent, the clouds remain still,
The mountains still stand and the seas remain filled.
The saints clothed in white ask the Lord how much longer?
Will your world remain broken and this evil grow stronger?

This babe in the manger came to conquer and save.
How long till you take back this world that you made?
The angels

Not Just A Few

There is a new beginning
Both for me and also you
God promised love and peace
To everyone not just a few
We are His children yes indeed
The rightful heirs of His great throne
It is so wonderful to know
It is not known to me alone
Rise up all you saints
Mark your place and stand your ground
Know that God has chosen

Come o'er the saints

Fall'n into the sear
In my stead, a curse to hither
'til my bones, my flesh shall disappear
Canst thou nought raise a blade of sweetened fear
A bane to a burdened forest
Heal him down a bow, to a tyrant's ear
Petty face of the fog
Thou daren't drown a kiss of mist
Lest there be to famine's cleanst
Thy pouring fiend
O'er harness

Seagulls and Saints of Emmaus
David J Walker

I see Seagulls and Saints
	And icy sills of Window’s
Restraints of blurred realities 
And unaccompanied Complaints
But clearly every pray ends 
In amends and Amens 
And incitant constraints 

I see syllables in Sawgrass 
A syllabus of things passed
Down in hands of hand me down
Phases and phrases 
Of false praise promises of
Devine
