28 th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Make us know the shortness of our life.
That we may gain wisdom of heart.
Doubt need not be rife.
We can make a new start.
A colleague has died suddenly.
In an instant he is gone.
All too untimely.
Is he still alive somewhere , is it all a con.
But whatever, death puts everything in perspective.
Why worry overmuch about the present.
Whether we just die or once again live.
This body into death will be sent.
And who are we anyway.
We just have to believe in the life and the way.
…….
The shortness of life
Must give us wisdom of heart
Or we die within
……..

See Psalm 89
