WHAT LIES WITHIN US

 

 

What lies within us

Is who we are

What lies within us

Is the essence

Of our soul

What lies within us

Is what we show the world

 

What lies within you

Is it love

Is it hatred

Is it kindness

Is it crudeness and rudeness

What are you

Showing the world

 

What lies within us

Should be love

What lies within us

Should be forgiveness

What lies within us

Should be kindness

What are you

Showing the world

 

What are you

Showing the world

Ps        “What good will it be for a man

              If he gains the whole WORLD-yet forfeits his soul

              Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul”             Matthew 16:26

 

            “If you belonged to the WORLD

             It would love you as its own

             As it is-you do not belong to the WORLD

             But I have chosen you out of the WORLD

             That is why the WORLD hates you”                                John 15:19

 

Today is the feast day of Saint Martin of Tours.

He was a monk, a bishop, and turned out to be

One of the most popular Saints of the middle ages.

 

Legend has it that he once kissed a beggar-and that evening

Christ appeared to him wearing the same cloak that Martin

Had given the beggar.

 

“What you do to the least of my brothers……..

That you do unto me”
