For the Love of Us All

DECEMBER 25^th, 2012

THE GREATEST COMPLIMENT

The greatest compliment

That we can

Give another human being

Is to tell them

That they are

An imitator of Christ

That they live with

Christ’s spirit in them

So how can we be

How will we be

Imitations of Christ

In today’s world

Be perfect

In love

For every human being

Be an imitator

Of Christ

Be perfect

In forgiveness

For every human being

Be an imitator

Of Christ

Be like Saint Francis of Assisi

Clothe the naked

Feed the poor

House the homeless

Even if

You can do it

For just one

Be an imitator of Christ

Be an imitator of Saint Francis

Be perfect in love

For the lost

And the forlorn

Be perfect

In kindness

For every human being

Be an imitator

Of Christ

And though

We may not be perfect

 But as long as

We try to do what we can

Maybe someday

Maybe someway

Someone will say to you

“You are an imitation of Christ

Christ’s spirit lives in you”

Robert P. Wallman

Ps        On today-Christ’s birthday-please let us all try to bring Christ’s

            Spirit alive again in today’s world

“Be PERFECT-therefore-as your heavenly Father is PERFECT”        Matthew 5:48

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you-for my power-

Is made PERFECT in you”

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses

So that Christ’s power will rest on me”                                         2 Corinthians 12:9

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
