St George’s Day — Thursday, Second Week of Easter

Have you ever understood why they attack you?
Remember if they persecuted me, they will persecute you too.
Remember if one stands against or even outside the world’s interests, they will come for you.
St George, a life clouded in mystery, only this we know. They martyred him too.
Does he watch over England in her lonely history offshore?
Sometimes you are hated but it hated him before.
If you walk through another country your vision may soar.
This is your fate if from the world’s ambitions you withdraw.
We know a servant is not greater than his master.
If they persecuted him, they will do the same to us.
But like St George we know it will be on his account. Like him we pray our enemies will scatter.
They do not know who sent him but they can only see us.
So we are the witnesses, no one else.
We must keep this in our minds. Our constant life’s pulse.
