THE FALL OF SECULARISM

 

THE FALL OF SECULARISM
by 

J. A. Fullerton 

When Pope John Paul II was elected pope

The downfall of communism looked remote

But in a very short space of time

The power of communism would quickly decline.

And when Benedict the sixteenth was elected pope

The fall of secularism looked remote

But in the words of PopeBenedict one can state

“Only if God is great is mankind also great.”

Pope Benedict gave us all great advice

“God must be great in public and in our private life”

For with God in our life we become prudent and wise

Of this Pope Benedict did advise.

And now Pope Francis is our pope

He has a great love for the poor and gives them great hope

The “cult of money” he says must come to an end

For the plight of the poor he does defend.

Secularism then as a way of life

I think for sure is in strife

We all want things to be great

So Our Heavenly Father we must reinstate

CHURCH NEEDS BELIEVERS WITH ZEAL

Church needs believers with zeal, not couch-potato Catholics, pope says

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The church doesn't need couch-potato Catholics, it needs believers with "apostolic zeal," willing to preach the uncomfortable words of Christ, Pope Francis said.

"And if we annoy people" with this zeal for Christ, then "blessed be the Lord," he said in his daily morning Mass homily May 16.

WOLVES IN SHEEPS' CLOTHING

Some people are wolves in sheeps' clothing. Their body language is likeable and seems quite harmless but their aim is to take down God's children. One must be careful.
