You must rely on God’s armour.
Or you will not be able to put up any resistance.
Today I was a distant mourner.
What do we really believe in, new life or non existence

I listened to those words at Lazarus’ resurrection.
Whoever believes in me will have eternal life.
But did I believe , however hard my concentration.
Why are doubts , day dreams , murmurings so rife.

In a universe of billions of stars.
Where stands this rabbi.
Did he really create all these super stars.
Or is it all mere speculation or a lie.

But sitting there I felt reassured.

Still sailing, but soon to be safely moored.

……

Put on God’s armour

And you put on resistance

Now and for ever

Does life carry on

Does anything else matter

Do we think on it

I was filled with doubt

Then seeing the Pieta

Some faith was restored

……
