Friday of Week 19 in Ordinary Time. St Maximilian Kolbe

 

 

 

Behold , God is my salvation.
I will trust and not be afraid.
He gives me loving redemption.
Troubles and anxieties quietly laid.

Would we accept the ultimate giving.
Offer our life like Kolbe , be a saint.
Of course not , we would start weakening.
Our faith and courage too faint.

But we do not need to be a martyr.
We can live our own small  life.
We do not need to fear or tire.
Or dread death’s sudden knife.

We can do little martyred things.
But worthwhile beautiful things.

…….

Can we be martyrs
But then we will never know
Perhaps we’re one now
