Thursday of week 28 in ordinary time

Man is justified by faith .
And not by doing something the law tells him to do .
What then if we have insufficient faith.
What then are we to do .

I am in Athens studying the ancient Gods.
Immortal yet with so many human faults.
Perhaps in their frailty they had a point , these Gods.
Because we like them have so many faults.

So I can’t justify myself by the little good I do.
Nor by my questioning faith
So what am I to do.
Perhaps try harder with what I do and with my faith.

I had better just keep muddling on my way .
It’s not a lot but what more can I say .

……..

Justified by faith
Or just by the deeds we do
What if then neither
