It was as though scales fell from Saul’s eyes.

And he could see again, so he was baptised.
Sometimes ignorance dies.
A truth is seen that was disguised.
All forms of worry and conceit.
Come from an hallucination.
That there is a material self to greet.
They refer back to the I am on which to fawn.
I was emerging from a dream.
And I saw the future held no fear.
The self was not as important as it may seem.
Its real needs were simple and clear.
Enough to pray and eat .
To enter judgement’s seat .
…….
It was so sudden
A light appeared in the sky
And Saul could now see

See Acts 9: 1-20

Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever.
And the bread that I shall give is my flesh.
Is this Eucharist the universal lever.
Expelling all impurity through a spiritual mesh.

We are a slave to our thoughts.
We should see them as what they are.
Just thoughts.
And be mindful that they need leave no scar.

If we focus on the present .
The eternal now.
This is what he meant.
Our thoughts need be neither high nor low.

Remember, he said no one can come to me.
Unless he is drawn by the father who sent me.

……

A thought comes to mind
We just need to note it’s there
Not be affected

…….

See John 6 : 44-51

Let your face shine upon your servant.
Save me in your love.
Keep us fervent .
In all true love.

I try to be a Christian .
My wife is one .
I try to be selfless to any man
My wife is selfless to everyone.

I try to have faith.
My wife does have faith.
Mine vanishes like a wraith.
Hers is truly interfaith.

I try never to be angry.
Undeserved, she never is with me.

……..

What we ask is love
Respect and understanding
Are it’s foundation.

…….

See Psalm 30

I am in the Father.

And the father is in me.
And we are , will be and were.
Long ago he saw us before we could see.
God is the eternal now.
He was before the Big Bang.
We do not need to know how.
Whilst only angels sang.
He was before time and materiality.
In three and all persons.
He is pure timeless spirituality.
In him nothing improves or worsens.
But in one moment of time he was here.
Have we then anything to fear.
……
We ask where is God
God is I am who I am
We will never know
……
See John 14 : 6-14

Monday of the 3rd Week of Eastertide . St Athanasius.

Do not work for food that cannot last.
But for food that endures to eternal life.
Know that was is truly past.
Cut as it were with a knife.

What matters is what to do now.
Try to take the Eucharist every day.
Let us stick to our plough.
There is no more to say.

He went before us over the lake.
Why did we follow.
Was it for bread or for his sake.
Are our ambitions hollow.

What, we ask is eternal.
Only that which is spiritual.

……

Athanasius
Sought only to prove this fact
Jesus is the one

I , John heard the sound .

of an immense gathering of angels.
Truly enough to astound.
With ever lasting ringing bells.
Why be so sad here.
When we are destined for heaven.
So shed here no tear.
We are all one and whole,  none riven.
Jesus is calling from the shore.
We do not recognise him.
He has made the fire, but bend the oar.
We must steer the boat towards him.
He asks us three times if we love him.
Three times we must answer yes we love him.
…….
We are fishermen
Jesus calling from the shore
Are we listening

See Apocalypse 5 : 11-14 and John 21 : 1-19
