And so
Enoch,
the seventh man from Adam
prophesied
saying:
‘Behold,
‘The Lord came
with his ten thousands of holy ones,
to make judgement against all and
to convict all souls
about all their works of ungodliness
which they-have-done-in-ungodly-ways and
about all the hard things
which they have said
against him:
–godless sinners!1
These are complainers, grumblers
going
according to their own desires
and their mouths speak ‘big words’
‘amazing faces’
for the sake of gain.
- 1 Enoch 1 9 ↩︎
Teach us, good Lord,
to serve thee as thou deservest;
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labour and not to ask for any reward,
save that of knowing that we do thy will,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
St Ignatius
