Pope Never Carries a Grudge

Pope Never Carries A Grudge

Pope will never carry a grudge;
Homosexuals who am I to judge;
All do love,
Below and above,
Not always firm and does budge.

He's amazing to human dragon and elf
He even impressed the Pope
Who's a pretty good winker himself.

Let's Work For the Pope

A presidential aid told another this,
"If we worked for the Pope, it would be bliss!"
The other said, "I'll bite!"
"Why would that be right?"
He said, "Then his ring is all we'd have to kiss!"

Pope Francis died, 

Thus

Poorer leaving the earth and humanity in pain,

While heaven,

Celebrating is, for becoming richer by one saint.

Premium Member Pope Leo XIV

I love you! 
I’m so happy you scolded Pres. Trump
Also mentioned
You’re ashamed to be called American
 
That is so good!
You even compared him with Jesus Christ
That is so good!
For me you’re the best Pope

Elegant without emerald trying

Let there be love and peace
Even if we don’t all agree
On who Christ died to free

Premium Member The Holy Man

“Your hands are full of blood”
the holy man did speak 
In furtherance of all the work
his life was meant to seek

Braver than the creatures
who have filled the GOP
He talks the talk because he is
the truth they’ll never be

Premium Member POPE LEO XIV





The divine flame, the torch of eternal truth lit,
 
And passed it onto Pope's Leo XIV trembling hand

Who, fervently, prayed to our God almighty,

Peace and love to bring, upon men's tormented land.

Limerick: Once a true benign Pope wore iron Cross

Once true benign Pope wore iron Cross
Ate humble pie dressed white spoke not lipgloss
Other Lords reigned in pomp
Caught in their cool aplomb:
Up Calvary got seared into steel Cross!

Premium Member Robert Francis Prevost - Pope Leo XIV

Robert Francis Prevost:
a brilliant man but not one to boast.
He brings a message of peace, love and hope,
and holy smoke! He’s the new pope.

Robert Francis Prevost:
as Leo XIV, he will not coast.
And another thing we know about the man:
he is a devoted baseball fan!

Teaching peace, love, and mercy;

MY SOUL LONGS FOR GOD

From childhood
Unto adulthood
I have tale-guided
My thoughts and inactions

Bible literature tells me that
Those who disobey God
Will find their space
In the sepulcher

While those who keep His commandments
Will join the heavenly host
And others
To celebrate with Pope Chaplains

Premium Member An Other-Worldly Suggestion for the Pope


              The other day I overheard
                 one alien say to another

              The Pope would opt for peace on earth
                 if he had his druthers

               So, in his Easter address to the planet’s nations
                 he’d be wise to advise ~ every earthling’s deportation

FRANCISCO THE SIMPLE DIED



The simple, spontaneous man died
he died suffering, but happy as he always was;
he knew the spiritual value
of "putting more water on the beans"
He knew how to forgive and ask for forgiveness...
He knew how to gather and welcome those in need
of bread and light!
good friend, amigo, hermano, fratello
 GOD IS WITH YOU !

Kudos Mister Pope, You Make Me Smile

Trying to remember what it was like these eyes of a child....
A tad bit troubling once innocece be lost ? Watching body bags
Come and go day in, day out; black and white, the oval tube; their
Profit line; tis not the childrens fault; another lost generation as perhaps
Mother jezabel father hell's, very last; We want you ? They only get what they, give.

Premium Member A Message To Pope Francis

You have seen me in all my woes. And yet you forgive. You know me not personally, But you have seen me on the Streets. You care that I am a casted-off human-being. And yet you take me in. How wonderful you are, for this is not a sin. I am grateful to you. Where you lead, others follow. You are a Fisher of Mankind. I am grateful to you.

The Pope In Eire

The Pope came to Eire
And found millions there
But they did not care
For priests anywhere

He dealt with the nuns
And all of the puns
Regarding bare buns
And Irish squirt guns

But what of "The Church"
And those who besmirch
The rap of a birch
For those in the lurch?

The Pope says, "We're fine
And now toe the line
To forgive is divine…"
God damn filthy swine!

Pray To Pope For Hope Horn Haiku

When you want to have much hope
Please do pray to pleasant Pope
Always knows his rope.

All around he does not mope
He knows angle of the slope
Not being a dope.

With him we always can cope
Positive not saying nope
Never will elope.

All of this defines our Pope
If for more words you will grope
Pray again to Pope.
