Confessions of a Trust Child

With childlike Faith I trust in Thee, You brought me back and set me free. Things will return to the peaceful state of a sleeping child who sleeps in trust at peace. If not here in eternity. For now so many worldly desires clutter the Way so many voices cloud the Truth I fear things will never be the same as they were in my youth when we knew what it meant to be of Christianity. Our nation, part of Chritiandom knew peace. And security was not just what you needed for a loan then. Where the unborn had rights. And not afraid of being aborted they could not be experimented upon; bettering lives of the living? The betterment of our lives was not our only hope: our only hope is to trust in the Lord and trust in His Divine Mercy, Jesus I trust in You!

Recovery Plan

When all is dead Might we lift up our head Hope for more to be fed By the Living Bread When my soul is cast down May I see Sts. of renown Bring my spirits 'round And Hope be found Where dismal the day Let's cheer the Way And to Mary pray Her Son will stay What times are slow But to Joseph go In Monstrance adore Lo blessings galore!

My part

 My part; I have felt lately is just other social media: hotmail and facebook. When I rarely blog it has been more poetical, less opinion. But the That Man Is You meeting which I joined through zoom yesterday morning and the tv Mass which had a homily to inspire me too has brought this confession to mind. Our culture is to say my part, I'm okay, but we, or I add, in my own thoughts anyway, what's wrong with you. If I do my part I have done all I can do. But I am not just a part, but part of a Body. Christ is the head and I shudder to think what part of the body people compare me to then. Christ did not have a human part and a holy part but one mind, and it isn't as I implied there at the TMIY meeting yesterday morning. He was wholy human and wholy holy at the same time. My part is to become more like Him. So you're okay, I'm not okay. Our culture is making people trans-human. This term is used for robotics or dehuminization and for becoming more like Jesus. If you let the whole man go and emphasise only the physical, although I've found I needn't let go of the physical, and if you let go of the emotional, mental or spiritual, you are not okay. Men need to dwell on the heart, mind and soul. So we will be trans-human in the positive sense of the word. In a world where we are statistics or cogs in a wheel we can take our part, with a whole heart.
