The Modern Times and the Living Past

 Love

"Love is a many splendid-thing
It's an April rose that only grows 
in the early spring..." 

And because of God's love that "He gave 
His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth
in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Song

So goes the song and a writer writing
a "Song of Bernadette on the miracle of
the Lady of Lourdes. He was never converted
to Catholicism.

" Full many a flower of purest ray serene 
The dark unfathomed cave of ocean bare
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.
-(An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard)

I should write prose and poetry just for the
sake of expression of the mind from the heart.
A Filipino writer said: America is in the heart.
yet out of the stomach, the mouth speaks.

The BC and AD generations, the Silent generation, 
the Baby Boomer, the Generation X, and the Millenials. 
There are always changes but only God. And Grace, Mercy,
and Blessings never change despite the many changes
on Earth.

Change

Grace is for us sinners even if we don't deserve it. Mercy is for
us sinners even if we deserve it, and Blessings are for both. The reason why
the spiritual, the priest, pastor, deacon, and all of us always say in our 
own special way - God bless you!. 
 
The Ponderable

Despite the Grace shown in our world, humanity has the option.
The world is in turmoil, in topsy-turvy. But because of God's profound love, 
He gave us immeasurable divine mercy through His humble creature made manifest
through the first non-Roman occupancy of the Holy See, the world is now in a deluge 
of the Divine Mercy.
