The “Beatific Vision”? Or worm and flame eternal? (Mk. 9:48)
The intended joy of sainthood? Or rebelhood infernal?
Rejoicing all together? Or gnashing teeth alone? (Lk. 13:28)
God’s paradise regained? Or misery full-blown?
Toward one of two destinies all folks are going
Consider the path that you’re on! What’s it showing?
Is heaven’s light shining through all of your deeds?
The “spade” of repentance uprooting sin’s weeds?
Is Christ living in you to further heav’n’s goals,
The glory of God and salvation of souls?
Do poor and oppressed ones through you find a voice?
Your destiny starts here and now! What’s your choice?

As you know, I have been printing your poems in a book to give you in case that they are ever lost. I really like the format of the new 2023 poems and hope that can be done with the rest of them. Keep up the good work! As you also know, every single day l pray for you, your family, your parishioners, and your list of prayer requests, Barbara Dewey
