A  PRIEST?

 

Great question: ask people
their take on Catholic priests.
 
I’m a priest. I have my take.
What’s your’s? People have met priests.
 
You might get a negative response.
But you could also get a great take.
 
Someone might tell you about a priest
who made a big difference in their life.
 
You never know till you ask.
You might even call and say, “Thank you!”
 
You might even take  the time
to think about “How you did  life so far?”
 
You might even decide to become
a priest yourself. Hey you never know.

A  GLASS OF WATER 

It’s great when it’s cold.
It’s wonderful  when I’m thirsty.
It’s a blessing when the other says, “Thank you!”
It’s neat when it evokes “Perfect!” sounds.
It’s been around since the beginning.
It’s a free gift 7 times a day.
It shows God’s sheer imagination.

ROSARY  MYSTERIES

  

It’s never that simple: life.
 
There are mysteries.
 
It’s never black and white.
 
There are shades and differences.
 
It’s never simple.
 
There are decades of nexts.
 
Annunciations and assumptions.
 
Presentations and findings.
 
Ascensions and decensions.
 
Births and weddings.
 
Deaths and births.
 
And back and around the mysteries again and again.
