what is Love
if all we see
is everything
me, me, me.

Love redeemed
is
Love expressed
nothing more
nothing less.

The face she wiped
the pain she eased
the care she bore
a moment seized

a lasting image
of agony
the suffering
her sympathy

a simple act
she felt the need
to care for one
whose blood was seized

a point in time
torture's delay
yeilding a snapshot
sought today.

Thou who
doubted Thee
and left a famous
memory
for all of humanity
by way of Christianity,
you could not
conceive
the deity
that is faith's reality
because of your inability
to trust the Almighty
within His risen
identity,
your devotion was
a poverty
but Christ gave you
vitality
and granted you
to feel and see
with total
objectivity,
and while this
did prove to be
for you a necessity
our Savior
placed His pity
on your mentality
and proved that His
majesty
was not born
in mediocrity
but miraculously
in the nativity

to lead us all
to eternity.

NO DOUBT
to Thee
all glory
be.

Sacrificing

All

In anticipation of

Never ending

Time with God.

Healing
the world needs more of,
the celebrant
undying love.

St. Catherine of Sienna
knew
what God would
tell me and you.

The blood of Christ
she longed to share
and the death
that could not
hold him there.

God's grace
and peace she
spread to those
any and all with
open souls.

A gentle, fervent
passionate calm,
applying heaven's
perpetual balm.

Her words, actions
and empathy
helped
pave the way
to eternity.

Lives persecuted
love's outcry
what others see
but still deny.

Would our beliefs today
stand the test
martyrs of Rome
put to rest?

A gift of faith
through the
hands of time
is the key within
this sacred crime.

He set the course
and knew the time
when reason from
the earth would climb
and reach for faith,
God's gift to man
found between the stars
and land.
For as he taught
that God is real
all present
as we think and feel,
St. Thomas knew
what his faith meant
that humanity
was heaven sent.
