Poem 53: Make Noise (Weekly Post #5)

Make Noise

Christ cannot be contained
neither can He be detained
The Heart of the Gospel here
is wider as we all gather

Make Noise...
Christ is not limited at all
The confines of the church fall
we are the transfigured church
proclaiming Christ outside church

Make Noise...
The Old and the young together
rejoicing in the Holy Trinity forever
Marginalized by known wealthy nations 
causing intensified troubles frictions

Make Noise
You inspired Pope Francis
Preaching to us like Saint Francis
Your love reflected in actions
All disappear every tension

Make Noise
Faith in Christ must make noise
We will not be shy yet poised
You inspired your vicar Pope Francis
Loving us like Saint Francis

137 Days - 159 Poems - 20 Posts (Poem 41)

Dear Readers,

today's poem is inspired by a reflection I had all day long on Mary's Fiat. I pondered on something that I read from a priest called Fr.Gaitley. According to him, even Mary was prepared to walk by faith for the role that Jesus wanted her to take on as our spiritual mother.

I thought it would make sense, complete sense, but then I pondered about her and wrote about how we surrender to God's will like her. Where are we in our Fiat toward God, the Holy Trinity? the One God in Three persons?

139 Days - 161 Poems - 21 posts (Poems 34 to 39)

Dear readers,

it been few days. Though I have missed updating you, I have faithfully done my best to keep writing.
It has not been easy, but is anything ever easy. In between recovering and fulfilling both my societal
duties and that of our home, inspiration did not lack.

So let me update you from where we last left of - being a people pleaser instead of pleasing the Almighty first.

July 11, 2013
  • Poem 34 was inspired by the gift I have through baptism of being the daughter of the wealthiest King that has ever lived. 143 - 166 - 21
  • Poem 35 was inspired by conversations that were being held on vocations. 143 -165 -21

July 12, 2013
  •  Poem 36 was inspired by courageous acts I witnessed around me and how our life can radiate when we walk into what God has in store for us. 142 - 164 - 21

July 13, 2013
  •   Poem 37 was inspired by a priceless moment experienced at a vigil. Today, we celebrated as well the Feast of Mother Mary under her title of Rosa Mystica, the mother of the religious. See the devotion to our Lady under this title is very much popular in West Africa and in South Asia. Today, I ponder on the Crown she gives us her beloved if we wish to receive it. 141 - 163 - 21

July 14, 2013
  • Poem 38 was inspired by Our Lady. See, I have been reflecting, and studying the Immaculate Conception - the writings of St Kolbe awhile ago prompted me to start reading the Encyclical Pope Pius X wrote on the Immaculate Conception - Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum.  I am not done reading it, but what I read so far sparked me to pen. 140-162 -21

July 15, 2013
  • Poem 39 is a short poem on the Eucharist. I was reflecting on the privilege of the Eucharist. What a gift of Life itself.

148 Days - 172 Poems - 22 Weekly Poems Posts ( Poems 27, 28)

My dear readers,

Yesterday although an unusual day filled with  new experiences
 was so overwhelming that writing did not happen. For the first
time since the beginning of this challenge, I missed a day.

----Today, I was inspired by two themes;
  1. Silence because often times it unveils unheard riches
  2. Sickness because such has been my state for the past two days.

150 Days - 174 Poems - 22 Weekly Posts (Poems 25, 26)

Hello my readers,

there are 10 min left before midnight, and I just finished writing.
Writing today unfolds slowly but surely throughout the day.
What inspired me today is a theme that kept repeating itself again
and again.

Children are the best example of attachment and detachment. So one poem
was inspired by them  (Poem 25) --- 150 /175/22

We are often called to renounce the world, our wealth,
ourselves in many  ways. Conversations seemed to evolve around that.  (Poem 26)

Once we reach that level we can say - God will provide...
