TWO FOR CHRIST
TWO FOR CHRIST
TODAY we CELEBRATE
The feast of Saint Francis of Assisi
The little poor man
Who SACRIFICED it all
For Christ
When Saint Francis was
ORIGINALLY called-he thought he was
To physically “REBUILD THE CHURCH”
Later he came to realize-
That it was NOT the actual
Physical rebuilding of the church
At San Damiano
But the SPIRITUAL REBUILDING
Of the Catholic and Christian churches
In the 13th century-because they were
FOUND to be wanting
A MAN FOR CHRIST
A man who actually CARRIED
The stigmata on his body
SOME people feel
That Saint Francis
Was MORE like Christ
Than any other person
Who ever lived
Twelve or 1300 years before Saint Francis
There was another man
CALLED by God-who originally
Didn't get it right
He originally thought
That he was to DESTROY
The Christian Church
But later came to UNDERSTAND
That he was to BUILD
The church of Jesus Christ
This man MAY have done more
To BUILD the early Christian Church
Than any other person-SAVE-
For Christ himself
“Saul-why are you PERSECUTING ME?” Acts 9:4
And Paul was knocked off his horse
And blinded-
And the TRANSFORMATION
Was underway
“But when he-
Who from my Mother's womb
Had set me apart
And called me through his GRACE
Was pleased to REVEAL his SON
To me........” Galatians 1:15-16
“I have been
CRUCIFIED with Christ
And I no longer live
But Christ LIVES in me
The life I NOW LIVE
I live by FAITH
In the SON of God
Who loved me
And GAVE himself for me” Galatians 2:20
Saint Paul and Saint Francis
Are TWO FOR CHRIST
Who God and Jesus actually spoke to
Two for Christ=COUNT ME
AS NUMBER 3=I have heard
God and Christ's voice too
And I want to SEE the world
-TRACED back to Abraham
I want the 2.2 billion Christians
To UNITE for Christ
And BUILD one TOTAL unified world
Traced back to Christ
We are ALL to be together
Under one God-and one world
TWO for Christ-in Saint Paul-
And Saint Francis-
COUNT ME AS NUMBER THREE
Do I hear 4, 5, 6, -
HOW ABOUT 7 BILLION people-and ONE
UNIFIED WORLD-under the teachings of Jesus
On love and forgiveness?
In Jesus' name,

Ps INSPIRED by an article in LIVING FAITH MAGAZINE by Fr. Martin Pable, O.F.M. Cap.
I AM COMMITTED with my life to TRY to BUILD ONE UNIFIED FAITH under GOD-using the
Teachings of LOVE & FORGIVENESS-what a world-it would be if Christian-JEW-and MUSLIM
Could live hand and hand in this crazy-mixed-up world that we ALL live in
“How GOOD and pleasant it is
When GOD'S PEOPLE
LIVE TOGETER IN UNITY........” Psalm 133:1
