If your brother does something wrong,
Go and have it out with him alone.
How do we curb earth’s temptation song?
Does not Judgement have its own self-righteous tone?

So does heaven echo with what we do?
Is there anyone out there who hears?
Does retribution come on cue?
Or are these groundless fears?

If heaven is not there,
Life is value free.
Only on this earth will we shed a tear.
And the wind of wrath only here will ruffle judgement tree’s lea.

But I prefer to think that what you bind here will be bound there.
So if you don’t mind, I will have a care .

It is not for you so full of your own importance to go on taking sides.
Has anyone given you any special rights, what do you have that was not given to you.
He who accuses is he who self derides.
If we do not judge our faith we can ourselves renew.

The Pharisees said, why are you doing something forbidden on the Sabbath day.
He said the son of man is master of the Sabbath.
We should make our own judgements on own conscience not on what others say.
Duties can appear to lie on us like a crushing mammoth.

Who we are.
Why we exist.
We cannot shed a tear.
We cannot resist.

Anything good in us is given us.
Anything bad is up to us, it has always been thus.

Non angli sed angeli.
They are not Angles but Angels.
Si furent Christiani.
Did he mean if they were Christian would they be archangels?

Theirs was the sounds of silence.
Oppressed in that slave market.
But Gregory by his pun launched St Augustine into the wilderness.
To open to the world this island’s casket.

Panis Angelicus.
This angelic bread.
Bringing thus hope Catholicus.
Katholou, making us universal, many parts but one head.

And from those Northern mists.
Emerged new hope and gifts.

Leaning over her He rebuked the fever.
Laying His hands on them he cured them.
Is it the spirit which is a universal lever.
How do we search now for the hidden gem.

We could view all this as history.
We could say that this healing is interesting yet in the past.
Or we could ask him to heal us now rather than just think this a mystery.
We could think of him listening to us from the first to the last.

Asking.
Requesting.
Praying.
Receiving.

He is here.
We are in His care.

An uninspired person is one who does not accept anything of the spirit.
He sees it all as nonsense.
In truth in all things material or spiritual there is merit.
The value of things is in themselves and in their own sense.

You cannot understand spiritual things rationally.
The spirit is something both intensely nebulous and firmly concrete.
The spirit resides in our mind only conditionally.
Acceptance by the mind is the secret.

Deep down.
Is your spirit.
Only you can find this, others in doubt will drown.
But whatever and however you seek has merit.

You must value everything.
Reject nothing.
