GOD'S MERCY TO ALL

 

GOD'S MERCY TO ALL

At the LAST SUPPER

The apostle Philip

Made a plea that Jesus

Had already answered

“Philip said to him,

'Master-SHOW us the Father

And that will be ENOUGH for us'” John 14:8

Jesus answered,

“WHOEVER has seen me

Has already seen the FATHER” John 14:9

So in this YEAR OF MERCY

As proclaimed by Pope Francis

IF we have not ALL already

Seen the Father-THE FACE OF MERCY

We have all-at least-

Felt him in our hearts

As we all have felt

Jesus living there

At one time or another

GOD'S MERCY is

For us all

NOT just Catholics-Not just Christians

But for ALL PEOPLE in this world

BELIEVERS in God

And nonbelievers alike

So who knows WHERE we will

See the face of God

It can be seen and felt

In the most unlikely of places

And it will serve to REMIND US

That the face of God

Can be anywhere

“Many-Lord-are asking-

'WHO will bring us prosperity?'

Let the light of your face

Shine on us” Psalm 4:6

“May God to be GRACIOUS to us

And BLESS us

And make his face

SHINE on us” Psalm 67:1

“They will see his face

And his name

Will be

On their foreheads

There will be

No more night

They will not need

The LIGHT of a lamp

Or the light of the sun

For the Lord

Will give them light

And they will REIGN

Forever and ever” Revelation 22:4-5

And so we say thanks

To Philip and James

And all the other apostles

The GOSPEL has reached

The ends of the earth

Thanks to people like them

And we his apostles-

Of today

Will sooner or later

MAKE SURE the gospel of God

And Christ- IS ACCEPTED

By every individual in this world

And ultimately

GOD'S MERCY TO ALL

May be shown

To every person in this world

LIT by our faith in Christ-

The FACE that shines the

Father's love and mercy

TO ALL those in NEED
