GOODBYES AND PEACE

 

 

Goodbyes are difficult

Goodbyes always

Cause someone pain

 

Goodbyes occur

For many reasons

A move, a death, a broken relationship

 

But as Jesus

Was leaving this world

Jesus said

I leave my peace

With you

 

It is the kind of peace

That is

Not the peace from this world

But a peace

In spite of this world

 

A peace that says

In every situation

I am with you

To trust God

And know

God will bring you safely home

 

God’s peace

Is a victory

Over the darkness of sin

In this world

 

It is a victory over

The coldness, the indifference, the selfishness

The ingratitude, the luke warmness

And rejection of this world

 

So please know

That whatever you are facing

In this world

 

And if you

Are facing

A goodbye for any reason

I wish you peace

 

GOD’S PEACE

Ps       “Great PEACE have those who love your law

            And nothing can make them stumble”                                             Psalm 119:165

 

           “A heart at PEACE

            Gives life to the body

             But envy rots the bones”                                                                  Proverbs14:30

 

            “PEACE I leave with you

             My PEACE I give to you

             I do not give to you as the world gives

             Do not let your hearts be troubled

             And DO NOT be afraid”                                                                 John 14:27             

        

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL

 

 

 

 

 

How would you

Define an angel

 

The one word

That comes to my mind

Is “heavenly”

 

Beings that help us along

On life’s journey

Beings that assist us

In one way or another

 

Psalm 91:11 & 12 says,

“For he will command his angels

Concerning you

To guard you in ALL your ways

They will lift you up

In their hands

So that you will

NOT strike your foot

Against a stone”

 

HEAVENLY---to be sure

 

I have had

Many earthly angels in my life

My parents---my two sisters

Other family members and friends

To HELP me along the way

 

I know

I wouldn’t be sitting here writing this

If not for them

 

But there are angels

From heaven

That God has actually used

To deliver messages

 

We know

That the angel Gabriel

Appeared to Zachariah

At the birth of John the Baptist

 

And above all

We know that he appeared to Mary

To ask her

To be THE MOTHER OF GOD

 

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL

 

Then we have Saint Michael

OUR defender and protector

TO HELP US

Against the wickedness and the snares of the devil

 

Michael appears to us

IN the book of Daniel

As the special GUARDIAN AND PROTECTOR of Israel

 

And in the book of Revelation

As the PRINCIPAL fighter for God

In the fight

Between good and evil

 

Michael’s POWER is so strong

That it is believed

That souls can be rescued

Even from hell itself

 

May we ALL be so lucky

 

Finally we have the angel Raphael

Named in the book of Tobit

 

Raphael’s name means,

“GOD HAS HEALED”

 

My wish for ALL of you:

 

IS that you be TOUCHED by many beings

Both heavenly and earthly

To help you

On life’s journey

 

And that you feel

God’s love and presence---SO STRONG---

Inside of you

That you Know

That you have been BLESSED by God

And that indeed---you have been

 

                          TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL

THE SAVING GRACE OF GOD!

 

THE SAVING GRACE OF GOD

Did you ever wonder

WHY God seems to hear

This or that person's prayer

And maybe not yours

Or mine?

“When the poor one

Called out

The Lord heard

And from all his distress

He SAVED him”                                                                                   Psalm 34:7

Why did the Lord

Save this person-

And NOT the person

Right beside him-or

The person right beside him?

The FACT of the matter is

The Lord hears-

ALL of our prayers

And tries to HELP us all

In our distress

“In my distress

I called

To the Lord

I cried

To my God for help

From his temple

He heard my voice

My cry

Came before him

Into his ears”                                                                                    Psalm 18:6

“In my distress

I called

To the Lord

And he ANSWERED me

From deep

In the realm of the dead

I called for help

And you listened

To my cry”                                                                             Jonah 2:2

The Lord hears all

The LORD ANSWERS ALL

He is my Savior

When I am in distress

The truth is

The Lord SAVES US

From a great many distresses

He ALWAYS answers the call

But we don't always recognize

The saving

The automobile accident

We just missed

The weather and lightening strike

That hits right beside us

God answers ALL prayers

He always answers our call

In one way or another

NOT only the physical saving

But also the emotional-

And spiritual HEALING

“Let your face

SHINE on your servant

SAVE me

In your UNFAILING LOVE”                                                                   Psalm 31:16

“Heal me Lord

And I will be HEALED

Save me-

And I will be saved

For you are the one

I PRAISE”                                                                                         Jeremiah 17:14

We endure

Some terrible trials and difficulties

In this life-

Physical-spiritual-and emotional

Bet we can handle all those

Terrible trials and difficulties

With the Lord

The Lord hears all

And RESPONDS with

THE SAVING GRACE OF GOD

A CHARITABLE HEART=THE STORY OF Saint Vincent DePAUL

A CHARITABLE HEART---THE STORY OF SAINT VINCENT DePAUL

 

 

 

 

 

I am sure

You have heard the saying:

“Charity begins at home”

 

I am here to tell you

That that is NOT true

 

It is not true today

Was not true yesterday

And will never ever be true

 

Saint Vincent DePaul

Was born in to a peasant family

Was educated by the Franciscans

And became a priest

At the age of 19

 

His following

Consisted of people

Who were rich and fashionable

Yet Vincent himself

Was utterly devoted to the poor and oppressed

 

A heart of compassion

A heart of charity

A heart of love

 

He founded

A congregation of priests

Who would live from a community fund

Renounce all church support

And work to help reestablish faith

In the smaller towns and villages

 

In that same year---1625

He established the Sisters of Charity

The first congregation of “unenclosed” women

Totally devoted to the poor and the sick

 

He was a LEGEND

Even in his own lifetime

 

He touched all people

Clergy and lay people alike

Rich and poor

Outcasts and convicts

 

A CHARITABLE HEART to be sure

 

Legend has it

That EVEN NOW---almost 600 years later---after his death

That his physical heart has NOT decayed---is still incorrupt

 

So we need no further testimony

Than God himself

About the charity---about the heart

Of a man named Vincent DePaul

 

Like the saying goes,

“It is what is inside that counts”

 

Dear Lord---we pray

That we may have ALL have

The HEART OF
The love of

The compassion of ---and

 

                  THE CHARITY OF SAINT VINCENT DePAUL

LIVING FROM THE INSIDE OUT!

 

 

 

 

 

 

SEPTEMBER 26^th, 2012

 

 

LIVING FROM THE INSIDE OUT

 

 

I am

Living from the inside out

I am

Letting God’s love

Turn me all around

I am

Letting God’s love

Turn me every which way

But down

 

I am

Living on God’s love

I am

Living inside out

 

Inside out

Is the way

I want to live

Inside out

Is the way

I want to give

Inside out

I want to give

All that’s in me

 

Inside out

I just

Want to live

Inside out

I just

Want to give you

The love that God gave to me

 

I just want to live

Inside out

Ps        “You TURN things upside down

              As if the potter were thought to be

              Like the clay

 

              Shall what is formed say to him

              Who formed it

              “He did not make me”

               Can the pot say of the potter

              “He knows nothing”                                                              Isaiah 29:16

 

              “You TURNED my wailing into dancing

                You removed my sackcloth

                And clothed me with joy”                                                   Psalm 30:11

 

              “Remember this

                Whoever TURNS a sinner

                From the error of his way

                Will save him from death

                And cover over a multitude of sins”                                       James 5:20

SAINT COSMAS AND DAMIAN

The Patron Saints of Doctors

 

 

Do you have healthcare

Can you afford it

 

Do you sometimes think

That the healthcare industry

Or maybe

Even some of the Doctors

Are more concerned with

How much money they are making

Than your personal health

 

If your answers

To any of these question are yes

LISTEN UP

To the story

Of two of our early physicians

 

Legend says

That they were twin brothers

And doctors

 

Who practiced their art

Without asking for fees

 

Can you imagine

Someone doing that today

In any profession

 

Reportedly

Numerous cures of healing

Were claimed by their intercession

 

They are

The patron saints of doctors

And their acts

Recount their skill

In both the healing

Of both men and animals

 

Their most famous medical achievement

Was their grafting of a new white leg

To the live body

Of a cancerous negro 

 

They reportedly

Had a reputation

For disinterestedness about financial gain

 

Their feast day

Is September 28^th

 

Dear Lord

We pray

For many more people

As well as physicians

Like Cosmas and Damian

WHO HAVE COMPASSION FOR ALL

IT IS=NOT JUST ABOUT WORDS

 

 

 

 

 

 

IT  IS=NOT JUST ABOUT WORDS

( Beyond Words)

 

WORDS=are important to me=If they were not=I wouldn’t write NEW POEMS=

And send out=A POEM=almost everyday=Christianity is=Evangelization is=LOVE

IS BEYOND WORDS=They require ACTION too=IT IS=NOT JUST ABOUT WORDS=

“Once when Jesus was PRAYING=in private=and his disciples=were with him=He

Asked them=’WHO do the crowds say=I am?’”                                                                                 Luke 9:18

 

Jesus was STRAIGHT FORWARD=In his question=to his disciples=and asking them=

“WHAT are the people saying?”=and then in verse 20=He asks the apostles=”But

What about you’=’WHO do you say I am?’”                                                                                    Luke 9:20

Peter answered=”GOD’S MESSIAH”

And so 2,000 years later=The question COMES to us=WHO do you say=Jesus IS?=What

Are your BELIEFS?=Does your life show them?=If you BELIEVE=truly believe=Jesus

Is the MESSIAH=It shows in your actions=and how you TREAT=every HUMAN BEING=

In this world=For Christianity is=Evangelization is=LOVE IS BEYOND WORDS=It is

AN ACTION too=You might be=THE ONLY TRUE CHRISTIAN=Some people=will ever KNOW=

In this world

 

“Each one=should test their=OWN ACTIONS=Then they can  take pride=in themselves alone=

Without comparing=Themselves to someone else=For each one=should carry=Their

Own load”                                                                                                                                                            Galatians 6:4

“They claim to know God=BUT by their ACTIONS=they deny him=They are detestable=

Disobedient=and unfit=for doing anything good”                                                                         Titus 1:16

“In the same way=Faith by itself=If it is not accompanied=BY ACTION=is dead”        James 2:17

 

WORDS ARE GREAT=I love words=But love is=Faith is=CHRISTIANITY is beyond words!=It

Is NOT just about=WORDS=my brothers and sisters=Christianity Requires us=to be

LIVING EXAMPLES=Of Jesus Christ’s LOVE=and the Holy Father GOD’S LOVE=”YOU

WILL KNOW=we are CHRISTIANS=by our love”=by our words=and BY OUR ACTIONS

 

And so my SISTERS AND BROTHERS=It is NOT JUST ABOUT OUR WORDS=Our evangelization=

Our CHRISTIAN WITNESS=Comes by what we DO=and how we are Miniature examples=Of

Jesus Christ=in this world=IN our words=and in our love

“I have set you=an EXAMPLE=That you should do=as I have done for you”                                 John 13:15

“FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE=as I follow the=EXAMPLE OF CHRIST”                                       1 Corinthians 11:1

“In everything=SET THEM AN EXAMPLE=by doing what is good=In your teaching show

Integrity=seriousness=and soundness of speech=That cannot be condemned=So that

Those who oppose you=May be ashamed=because they have nothing bad=to say

About us”                                                                                                                                                         Titus 2:7

 

And so sisters and brothers=I HAVE=to ask you a question=You BELIEVE IN God=

The Holy Father of LIFE AND LOVE=who you say and BELIEVE=that his son Jesus was?=

DO you believe he is THE MESSIAH=the only SON=of the Holy Father God?=Does

Your life reflect that?=Do your words and ACTIONS REFLECT THAT?=Who is Jesus

To you?=What is YOUR WITNESS?

It is about WORDS!=It is about actions!=and it is about BEING MINIATURE EXAMPLES=

Of CHRIST’S LOVE=In this world

 

In Jesus’ name=and IN the name=of our EVER LIVING=ever loving=ever speaking=acting=

And  evangelizing HOLY FATHER GOD!

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER=LIFE WILL.......

 

 

 

 

 

 

SEPTEMBER 25^th, 2012

 

 

 

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

LIFE WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES

 

 

It may be health

It may be money

It may be

Trying to be someone

You are not supposed to be

One way or another

Life will bring you

To your knees

 

You might not think it

But in that time

Is your opportunity

To find God

And to find yourself

 

Because I have been there

And that was the only place

For me to find true happiness

There just wasn’t anyone

Or anything else

 

It may be health

It may be money

It may be trying to be someone

That you are not

 

Someone that you shouldn’t be

One way or another

Life will bring you

To your knees

 

That just might be

Your opportunity

To find God

To find peace

Inside of yourself

While you are down

On your knees

             But if you forsake him-he will reject you forever”          1 Chronicles 28:9

PART OF HIS FAMILY

 

PART OF HIS FAMILY

Do you know that

You are JESUS' BROTHER

Or sister?  Do you know

That we are all brothers

And sisters in Christ?

We are PART 

OF HIS FAMILY=and our holy God

Is our DEAR FATHER

“My mother and my BROTHERS

Are those

Who HEAR the word of God

And act on it”                                                                                                            Luke 8:21

What a PRIVILEGE it is

For us to be CHOSEN

As PART of HIS FAMILY=

What greater GIFT could

Our Holy Father God

Ever give to us

Jesus tells us that

BELONGING to the family

Is NOT a matter

Of common physical characteristics=

But SHARING

COMMON spiritual characteristics=

It is all UP TO US

To choose to FOLLOW

The Word of God

The word of Jesus

This is what

Makes us FULLY ONE

With him=

Makes us=ONE WITH Jesus

Makes us

PART OF THE FAMILY

Jesus said=”COME FOLLOW ME”=

And be a part

Of MY FAMILY=be my

Brother or my sister

“A friend

Loves at all times

And a BROTHER is born

For times of adversity”                                                                                           Proverbs 17:17

“One who has

Unreliable friends

Soon come to ruin

But there is a friend

That sticks closer

Than a BROTHER”                                                                                             Proverbs 18:24

And that BROTHER=that person

Is JESUS=

We are a PART

OF HIS FAMILY

When we imitate Jesus=

When we become

MORE like him=

We become an even BIGGER

PART of his family

That is what our lives

Are MEANT to BE

A sharing of JOY IN JESUS CHRIST

Jesus freely OFFERS US

A chance to LOVE HIM=it is our CHOICE

To love him or not

Our choice=to be

A PART OF HIS FAMILY

“He must manage

HIS OWN FAMILY well=

And see that his children

Obey him

And he must do so

In a manner worthy

Of full respect”                                                                                                    1 Timothy 3:4

Today=this day=

This MORNING=would be a

GOOD TIME to ask

The Holy Father if

We have ACCEPTED the

TREMENDOUS GIFT of Christ Jesus

Are we imitating him?

Are we loving him?

Are we LIVING as part

Of Christ Jesus' FAMILY?

In the name of our BROTHER Jesus=and our HOLY GOD THE FATHER

LINGERING SIN=GOSSIP

 

 

 

 

 

 

SEPTEMBER 24^th, 2012

 

 

LINGERING SINS-GOSSIP

 

 

There once was a woman

With a physical handicap

She is still the same now

As she was twelve years ago

 

What about our sins

Are our sins

The same today

As they were 12 years ago

 

No one

Stays the same

Are we improving

Or are we regressing

 

Once

There was a woman

Who gossiped

 

When she went to confession

The Catholic priest

Told her to go to the market place

And buy a chicken

What an easy penance

She thought

 

Then the Catholic priest

Told her 

To pluck the chicken

And spread the feathers everywhere

 

Strange-she thought

But she did this too

 

Then the priest told her

To go and gather the feathers

And put them

Back on the chicken

 

“I can’t do that Father,” she said

“The feathers are everywhere”

 

“Exactly,” the priest said

“This is what happens

When you talk about someone”

 

What about my lingering sins

What about

Your lingering sins

 

Where are we

In relationship

To where we were

Twelve years ago

 

ARE WE IMPROVING

Ps       *Based on the teaching of Father Leo Clifford

 

“A GOSSIP betrays a confidence

But a trustworthy man keeps a secret”                                                   Proverbs 11:13

 

“For I am afraid that when I come

I may not find you as I want you

And you may not find me as you

Want me to be

 

I fear that there may be quarreling,

Jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions,

Slander, GOSSIP, arrogance, and disorder”                                          2 Corinthians 12:20

 

“A perverse man stirs up dissension

And a GOSSIP separates close friends”                                         Proverbs 16:28

Ps       “But the fruit of the SPIRIT is love,

            Joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness

            Faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control

 

            Against such things there is no law”                            Galatians 5:22-23

 

            “Since we live by the SPIRIT

              Let us keep step with the SPIRIT”                        Galatians 5:25

 

            “And if the SPIRIT of him

              Who raised Jesus from the dead

              Is living in you

              He who raised Christ from the dead

              Will also give life to your mortal bodies

               Through the SPIRIT who lives in you”                        Romans 8:11

           

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!

 

 

 

 

 

 

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!

 

Do you EVER WONDER=

How the PRIORITIES=of this world

Got so completely mixed up?

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!=

If you will

 

NOT anything like

What Jesus and his apostles

ADVOCATED for this world=

Love=forgiveness=and KINDNESS

To name just a few

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!

 

“……..GOD CHOSE

The weak of the world

To SHAME the strong……..”                                                                                                  1 Corinthians 1:27

 

It is just

AS TRUE TODAY=as when

Our Lord was WALKING

The hillsides and grass=in the old old world

OF YESTERDAY

It was=

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD back then

And it still is

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD TODAY!

 

It makes it so difficult

To KEEP GOD AND FAMILY

First in our lives

 

WHEN the world tells us=

It is MATERIAL THINGS=sex appeal

And popularity that matters

We live in

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!

 

“If I were hungry=

I would not tell you

 

FOR THE WORLD

Is mine=and all

That is in it”                                                                                                                     Psalm 50:12

 

“You are=

The light of THE WORLD

 

A town built=on a hill

Cannot be hidden”                                                                                                         Matthew 5:14

 

“For God=

SO LOVED THE WORLD

 

That he gave his one=

And only SON=that whoever

Believes in him

Shall not perish=but have ETERNAL LIFE”                                                                         John 3:16

 

WHY DOES

Jesus’ view of the world=

OFFEND the powers that be=

Because we live

IN AN UPSIDE WORLD!=where

The world’s views=are ASKEW

 

Jesus loves US=

The SO-CALLED LOSERS

Of this world

 

He loves the POOR=the meek=

And the forsaken=In other words

He loves us=we live in

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!

 

He loves us=BECAUSE

We have nothing=and NO ONE ELSE

To turn to

ONLY=God the Holy Father and Jesus

 

“You TURN THINGS=UPSIDE DOWN

As if the potter=were thought

To be like the clay”                                                                                                            Isaiah 29:16

 

So what is=THE LESSON

From God today?=from Jesus?

 

It is that=we are

TOTALLY DEPENDENT=on God and Jesus

In this=UPSIDE DOWN WORLD

That we live in

 

It is that=we are to LIVE

Like God and Jesus=in this world

 

May you live=with CHANGED VALUES

Love=forgiveness=and KINDNESS

Just like Jesus=in this

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of OUR FORVER LIVING=FOREVER LOVING Holy Father God1

THE LIFE OF PADRE PIO

 

 

 

 

 

He was born May 25^th, 1887

In Italy

The only Catholic priest in history

To bear the stigmata---the 5 wounds of Christ

 

He was given many gifts by God

Discernment of spirit, prophecy, healing

And as a powerful intercessor for us

Before our God

 

He was

One of the remarkable men

Of the 20^th century

A man with great faith

And spirituality

 

“Truly I say to you

Ask and it will be given to you

Seek and you shall find

Knock and

It will be open to you”

 

In the name of Father Padre Pio

We pray for you

To change

Each of us individually

All of us collectively

And return our world to God

 

“Truly I say to you

If you ask anything of the Father

In my name

He will give it to you”

 

Padre Pio labored endlessly

For the SALVATION of souls

 

“Truly I say to you

Heaven and earth will pass away

But my words

Will pass away”

 

Padre Pio

Was carried home to his heavenly Father---all our Fathers

On September 23^rd, 1968

He was canonized as a Saint on June 16^th, 2002

By John Paul II

 

Dear Lord-----I pray------we pray

To help us imitate his example of holiness and compassion

And one day---if it be your HOLY WILL

Spend eternity with him and you

 

“This life is short

The rewards for what we achieve

Are eternal”                                                                                    Padre Pio

 

And Dear Lord

We pray---that as Padre Pio lived out his life

On your words---that we do the same

 

In Jesus’ name---we pray

PS PADRE PIO SAID=”THE ROSARY+IS THE WEAPON=FOR THESE TIMES”

 

BE CHILDREN OF LIGHT!

 

 

 

 

 

 

BE CHILDREN OF LIGHT!

(Not of this WORLD)

 

Jesus’ PARABLES=Have a way of MAKING us think=To say the LEAST=They

Turn our world=UPSIDE DWN=”For the CHILDREN of this WORLD=Are more

Prudent=In dealing with their own generation=Than are the=CHILDREN OF LIGHT”   Luke 16:8

Today Jesus PRAISES=a child of=THE WORLD=for his intellectual prudence=It

Is about

 

A business manager=WHO BILKS his boss=Who is DOWN on his luck=But ends

Up=Receiving his boss’ PRAISES=He CONNIVES his way=Out of a situation=and

Jesus praises=HOW=the children of THIS WORLD=Knows how to act=Nevertheless=

He wants us to be=CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT=and he wants us=To GUARD our eternal

BLESSINGS=even more so

“Through the praise=Of CHILDREN and infants=You have established a stronghold=

Against your enemies=To silence the foe=and the avenger”                                                          Psalm 8:2

“Even small CHILDREN=are known by their actions=So is their conduct really pure

And upright?”                                                                                                                                                       Proverbs 8:11

“At that time’=Jesus said=’I praise  you Father=Lord of heaven and earth=Because you

Have hidden these things=From the wise and the learned=and revealed them to

LITTLE CHILDREN”                                                                                                                                          Matthew 11:25

 

Jesus and=Our Holy Father God=do not want you=To be DECEITFUL=In your search for=

THE ETERNAL things=of this World=They just want you to BE=a LITTLE ENTERPRISING=in how=

You SHARE=the WORD of God with others

I CANNOT tell you=how to do it=For I do not  know=WHAT WORKS for you=But for me=It

IS A POEM=with GOD’S and Jesus’  words=SENDING a birthday or PRAYING for you card=Just

LETTING OTHERS KNOW=God does LOVE and care for them=and I do too!

 

And so MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS=Guard the Word of God=with your life=and ALWAYS=

Be willing=to SHARE these WORDS of love and CARING=In an honest and forthright way=BE
CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT=Not of this world=”SET A GUARD=Over my mouth Lord=Keep

Watch=Over the door=of my lips”                                                                                                                Psalm 141:3

“Those who GUARD=their lips=Preserve their lives=But those who speak rashly=Will

Come to ruin”                                                                                                                                                      Proverbs 13:3

“But you will=Not leave in haste=Or go in flight=For the Lord will go before you=the

God of Israel=Will be=YOUR REAR GUARD”                                                                                       Isaiah 52:12

 

And Jesus=The SON of the Father=will be your FRONT GUARD=as you move forward=

IN this world=and TRY to bring GOD’S WORDS to LIGHT=in a desperately hurting world=

Be honest=Be FORTHRIGHT=Share and pass on=The WORDS of the Almighty Father and

Son

“Nevertheless=the one=who receives instruction=In the word=should SHARE all good

Things=with their instructor”                                                                                                           Galatians 6:6

“Command them=to do good=To be rich in good deeds=and be generous and willing=

TO SHARE”                                                                                                                                             1 Timothy 6:18

 

Dear Lord  and Holy Father God=We your dear SISTERS and brothers=in today’s world=

PRAY to you=to HELP us=be Confident and enterprising=In sharing your WORDS OF LOVE=

Of kindness and of FORGIVENESS=In this world=We ask you=to Help us be

CHILDREN OF LIGHT! (NOT of this world)

 

In n Jesus’ name=and in his LIGHT=and in the WORDS and love=of our FOREVER

LIVING and loving=Holy Father God!
