THE MOST IMPORTANT SERMON
In the Sermon on the Mount
Our Lord says,
“Blessed are the poor in spirit
For theirs is the Kingdom
of Heaven
But who are
The poor on spirit
I dear say
It is us
ALL OF US---
Because we are chasing
The wrong things
Most of us
Are chasing lives
Based on wealth, fame, status, and fortune
But these things
Will not fill us up
Nature abhors a vacuum
And we
Must fill our lives with something
I suggest
We try to fill our lives with LOVE
Love of God---and---
Love of others
Only then
Can our spirit be filled
Only then can we be
NO LONGER---poor in spirit
We need to
Let go of yesterday
We need to
Focus on the present
We need to
Let the Lord possess us
God’s gift to us---IS TODAY
Today is the most important day
Of our lives
By focusing on LOVE
We might find that
We are no longer poor in spirit
And by focusing on love
WE might find that
The KINGDOM
OF GOD
Is not only in Heaven
But RIGHT HERE on this earth

The SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT spiritual influence of my

May he REST IN PEACE---In Jesus’ name---amen
