Moses said, see I set before you life and prosperity.
Death and disaster.
But our faith is beset with timidity.
As we fail to recognise what should be our true master.

What gain is it for man to have won the whole world.
And to have lost or ruined his very self.
But day in , day out we just live for this world.
Forgetting what should be our true inner self.

For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it.
But anyone who loses his life for my sake, that man will save it.
Still we are not spiritually fit.
Will we reach for heaven or descend into the pit.

Alms giving, prayer and fasting.
The message of Lent , are we receiving.

………

We won the whole world
We ruined our very self
We found out at last
