If they do not hear Moses and the prophets.
Neither if someone rises from the dead, will they be convinced.
Yes , we too have all the prophets.
Yet still we are not convinced.

The rich man seeing Abraham.
By Lazarus’ side.
Begged him to warn his brothers through him.
But it would not have turned the tide.

Jesus rose from the dead to warn us .
And still we doubt.
He gave every chance to us.
Yet still we doubt.

If we do not care.
We end up like the rich man, have  a care.

……

Are we listening
If one man rose from the dead
He had a message

.. ….

See Luke 16: 19-31

Jesus asked, are you able to drink the cup.
That I am to drink.
From what spiritual glass will we sup.
Where is our true sustaining light.

I dreamt I saw my soul.
So small a part of me, barely extant.
Insignificant in size despite all our toil.
Like a small brick but so much more important.

From this small brick a spiritual life will be built.
As we lose all those other things we hold dear.
But on this the future is built.
Of all else we will be laid utterly bare.

We should contemplate our soul every day of our life.
If we want one day to enter new life.

…..

Do we see our soul
It seems so small and hidden
It’s all that matters

…..

See Matthew 20: 17-28

They preach.
But do not practice.
Do we search.
Or do we miss.

What are rules.
A mere guide.
We are not fools.
We know the right side.

What is important.
Is faith.
Especially in Lent.
Prayer , charity and faith.

Do we believe.
Are we ready to receive.

…..

Do we merely preach
Or do we seek to practise
That’s the question

….

See Matthew 23: 1-12

Be merciful.
Even as your father.
Is merciful.
Leave judgement to your father.

Judge not.
And you will not be judged.
Condemn not.
And you will not be condemned.

Our souls must have no colour.
Even if our bodies are white, brown, black .
God is blind to our earthly colour.
As far as he is concerned there is nothing we lack.

In his sight.
We are all in the right.

… ..

God is colour blind
Black, white , brown are all the same
For he loves us all

….

See Luke 6: 36-38

He was transfigured.
And his face shone like the sun.
We are known on high and measured.
Yet we do not know yet how our fate will run.

We too carry our light.
We have a brilliant white soul.
We can overcome any bruising fight.
And be renewed after our life’s toil.

We are on the mountain.
In God’s sight.
Our fate is certain.
We will be bathed in light.

For the moment we have to come down.
But there’s redemption, no need to frown.

……

We are transfigured
We are creatures of pure light
On our own mountain

……

See Matthew 17: 1-9
