I am already being poured out as a drink offering.
And the time of my departure has come.
This is just the beginning not the ending.
For us all and not just some.

I have fought the good fight.
I have finished the race.
Here is our true directing light.
One day we shall look our Lord in the face.

St Peter the Apostle of faith and unity.
St Paul the Apostle of mission.
Men of true untiring temerity.
To proclaim Jesus, their only ambition.

We try to follow their footsteps.
But do so only in tiny doubting steps

..  …..

He fought the good fight
And he did finish the race
And for all of us

….  …

See 2 Timothy 4
