Passage
by Marilyn Donnelly
He who
took the steps
by two
now pauses
on each tread
and I
who love him so
am filled
with dread.

“Faith deserves respect and honour to the very end: it has changed our lives, it has purified our minds, it has taught us the worship of God and the love of our neighbour. It is a blessing for all! But the faith as a whole, not just a part of it… We will show, in all humility and firmness, precisely in our old age, that believing is not something “for the old.” No. It’s a matter of life. Believing in the Holy Spirit, who makes all things new, and He will gladly help us.”
Pope Francis
