Any comments or suggestions?
Don't keep them to yourself...contact Cecilia via the presbytery office.
Constructive criticism always welcomed.
Based on Gospel Matthew 13. 24 to 43
Heaven’s likened to a sower, planting good seed in a field.
Expecting at the harvest, that there would be great yield.
But an enemy secreted, darnel with the wheat.
So when the crop was growing, not all was good to eat.
The servant asked the Master, should the weed be pulled right out.
But the answer was forthcoming, that showed there was no doubt.
For if the weed was taken, the wheat would be lost too.
Leave the wheat to ripen, then harvest both they’d do.
Destruction of the bad crop, will stop it causing harm.
The wheat would then be stowed, in the good Lord’s barn.
Puzzled now disciples, asked the meaning be unfurled.
Jesus was the sower, the field it was the world.
His subjects were the good seed, darnel by evil grown,
planted by the devil, to make the world his own.
The reapers were the angels, the harvest this world’s end,
when all the evil doers, they’ll to the furnace send.
Then will be much weeping, and grinding of the teeth.
But the virtuous will shine brightly, not for them that fate of grief.
Thank you dearest Jesus, for the promise that you’ve made.
A place in Your own Kingdom, Your death the price that’s paid.
We have to live alongside, those who evil do.
But You would give them heaven, if they’d only turn to You.
We must strive to treat each other, with love and not with hate.
Seek forgiveness for our sins, before it is too late. Cjs.
AD or PC
In these years of Our Lord, some Authorities have decreed
that certain courses of action, cannot be agreed!
Is it Politically Correct, that’s the terminology.
No matter the way of Christ, if conflicting it does be!
Recently a friend awaiting, the results of examination,
received an official letter, ‘you’ve achieved’ the notification.
But reading further on, of exactly what was in doubt!
Not allowed to state ‘you failed,’ ‘twas not PC to spell it out!
Phoned she for an answer, yes indeed she’d truly passed!
But she never would have guessed, unless the College she had asked!
One question on the paper, posed.. “there’s an object on the stairs.”
Do you remove or leave it, risking disapproving glares?
The PC answer was leave it! The caretaker must be found!
But possibly by then, someone could 've tumbled to the ground!
Safety is paramount, so ‘twould be dependent on the size,
and using common sense, was both sensible and wise.
Jesus tells us always, to care for everyone,
for what we do for others, unto Him we have this done!
Removing obstacles in our path, thus heeding the safety rule,
shows care for all the children and others in the school.
We owe Christ our allegiance, must do things in His way,
and stand up for His teachings, whatever ‘Man- Made’ decisions do say. Cjs

Prejudice has always existed! “Plus ça Change…”
“The world is passing through troubled times. The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they alone knew everything and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for girls, they are forward, immodest and unwomanly in speech, behaviour & dress.” When written? Peter the Hermit 1274 AD
