MAKING CHOICES

Listen for the music and 
for the bells and the peals of 
the trains at night, the sounds 
send to us a message  
Sometimes we understand; 
other times we get mixed messages  
The wind may mask the sound 
the bell may have a crack and 
its message is off key  
Listen then to the music in your hearts

May it lift you to do good works and 
help those in need  
Let it enhance our gentleness, 
sweetness, patience, humility and chastity  
May the light of the Holy Spirit 
inspire us to overcome the 
darkness of the world where 
God’s children are living in war, 
genocide, hatred and revolution  
we pray for forgiveness knowing that 
a just God will be waiting, 
sometimes with vengeance, 
other times with loving open 
welcoming arms  

It is for us the living to choose 
which way we want to live  
Do we wish eternal glory or 
damnation for eternity?
