UNSEEN GRACE=WORKING FOR YOU

 










UNSEEN GRACE-WORKING FOR YOU


There is an UNSEEN GRACE-

In this world

That is WORKING FOR YOU


And that GRACE to us

Is in the form of the Holy Spirit


The SPIRIT that Christ left behind

For us-after he died-resurrected-

And ASCENDED into heaven


This grace is waiting for you-

ALL you have to do

Is be a BELIEVER in God and Christ


“The Son of Man

Must suffer greatly........”                                                               Luke 9:22


That grace that is waiting

For us-IS Christ's own grace 

That he left for us after his death


He LIVES in us and

We LIVE-forever and ever-

BECAUSE of him


“With great POWER

The apostles CONTINUED to testify


To the RESURRECTION

Of the Lord Jesus


And GOD'S GRACE 

Was so powerfully at work

In them all


That there was 

NO needy persons among them”                                                          Acts 4:33-34


And there is 

No needy people among us

Because GOD'S UNSEEN GRACE 


Is at work in us too


“THROUGH him

We received grace and apostleship

To CALL all the gentiles


To the obedience 

That comes from FAITH

For his name's sake


And you also

ARE among the Gentiles

Who are called

To BELONG to Christ”                                                                           Romans 1:5-6


Yes us Gentiles and Christians

Have the UNSEEN GRACE 

Working for us in today's world


As most certainly did

Saint Padre Pio-who CATHOLICS

CELEBRATE today


He had MANY gifts 

Including those of HEALING

And VISIONS


And he also CARRIED with him

THE STIGMATA OF CHRIST 


But what really made him

A SAINT

Was the SANCTITY of his life


MAY us Christians and Catholics-

FOLLOW his life's work-

And find sanctity

In our own lives too


“SANCTIFY them by the TRUTH;

Your word is truth


As you SENT me 

Into the world

I have sent them

Into the world


For them I sanctify MYSELF-

That they too

May be truly SANCTIFIED”                                                             John 17:17-19


Saint Padre Pio-NEVER-

Wrote a book-

And spent his ENTIRE religious life

In a monastery


Yet he found the GRACE and

The sanctity of Jesus


May we ALL be so BLESSED
