TRYING

WAY=To what I consider=HIS BASIC TEACHING=I am
TRYING=but easier said=THAN DONE=”May another=Take his

GREAT WORTH in doing things=YOUR OWN WAY=but WHY=shouldn’t I

A maximum EFFORT=at living like the Holy Father God=and HIS
SON
LOVING others as yourself=Forgiving 70X&=Living the
BEATITUDES=

HEAVEN=Based
On our own efforts=We will all=COME UP SHORT=We are ALL
DEPENDENT=on
The LORD’S love and mercy=and the love and MERCY=of our Holy

We need to try and IMITATE=their way of love=but we will
