prayer poetry: The Revival Focus

My hope for you

Poetry speaks to our minds and hearts and is meant to communicate more than the sum of its words. It is an apt expression of our walk with the Lord. I encourage you to forward this link to those you love. I pray this poetry leads you into reflection and prayer but I also want to start a conversation. You, too, have something to share with others-not only in person, but also here. Your experience is yours to give away to build up and learn from others in the Body of Christ. Share the word that you hear, the experiences you have lived. We are all part of the New Evangelization.If you also want to contact me by email, feel free: genefirn@yahoo.com

The Revival Focus

grasping for solutions

when the purview of
or

listless hearts
elicit not a 'Great'

but rather a

faint amen
or when
against are
publicly championed by
purported disciples
swearing allegiance
to the Faith
while watchmen silently
turn their attention to not
offending sensibilities
thereby not having to make
uncomfortable decisions
though

or worse
validate darkness
in the name of progress

and accompaniment
as the young are led astray
by ideologies of relative

feelings to decide changing

the changeless while being
encouraged to experiment in

varieties of pleasures for

Identity's confusion resolution
while Churches close and

'nones' multiply exponentially

and the solution of progressive

catechesis is proposed to mitigate

the lethargy...how utterly absurd

when hearts are hardened
unconverted and brittle from

lacking caresses from the Cross
unaware of their

for transcendent embraces
so Personal
so
from the One who Infinitely /

Passionately Loves them and

Created them for a
Supernatural Identity of
Intimate Union and a
beyond
their temporal / finite limitations

in this broken world...
only when the Call of

'' is embraced to

'Change your Mind / Heart...

Repent and Believe the Good News'

only when their hearts are open to

Receive the One for whom
they have been Created
when Divinity is Enthroned

in their

as their
when they accept the invitation to
surrender themselves to the

as
Lord of their lives and further

when their Confirmation is

Revived as the 's

Anointing in Power and Love

is Consummated so that
lives are entwined...
person to Person

heart to Heart
to become Intentional

Disciples on Fire for

the

Obedient to His Word to

Bring the Good News

of His Mercy and Love -

to the Lost and Broken -

only then is

only then is there

Reflection/Discussion:

-What is Revival?

-What is 'Getting Back to Basics'?
-What is the place of catechesis?
-How is Baptism 'Revived'?

-How is Confirmation 'Revived'?
-What is involved in conversion?
-Where do we start?
-Is is gradual or instant or both? Why?
-What can we do to help others in this process?
-How can we grow in this New Life?
