I thank you Lord that you have hidden.
These things from the wise and understanding.
But we are still bidden.
Hoping and praying.

What was St Francis’ secret.
It was embracing poverty.
Freed from life’s thicket.
Realising all this is empty.

To give everything away.
To live for God only.
Seeking his shadowy ray
Hopefully and fairly.

We ourselves may not be able to follow his way.
But we can certainly understand his way.

…….

To give all away
And just live for God only
For that we can pray

…….

See Luke 10 : 17-24
