Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink.
They replied we can.
Sometimes we feel we are on the brink.
Nothing seems to go to plan.
I can think of a twelfth prayer following Francis’ advice.
Fast from depression and embrace enthusiasm.
We seemed called to sacrifice.
We look into a dark chasm.
But then we shake ourselves out of torpor.
And try to be a bit more merry.
We listen and hear the celestial harper.
Nothing is for ever , all is temporary.
He gave us all he had.
Do we have a right to be sad.
……..
Fast from depression
Embrace enthusiasm
All’s temporary

See Matthew 20 : 17-28
