Here is my latest poem
Learn to crochet
Grab yourself a ball of yarn
and a crocheting hook
You will also need
a good instructional book.
First you make a slipknot
then you make a chain
How to make other stitches
The book will explain.
When you’ve mastered the basics
It time to try out your skill
Your first completed garment
Will bring you a big thrill.
Here is my latest poem.
Saint Philomena the princess of paradise (poem)
Saint Philomena’s life
was a shinning light
that shone through the darkness
strong and bright.
The world’s false promises
we will not swallow
Saint Philomena’s example
we shall follow.
Saint Philomena Virgin Martyr,
from your throne of grace
cast a look of pity
upon the human race.
Saint Philomena the Wonder Worker
please hear us when we pray
and guide us through the challenges
that come to us today.
Please hear our prayers
and calm our fears
and guide us through
this vale of tears.
Hear us when we cry out to you
in our time of need
and your heavenly assistance
to us please do concede.
Give your angel
some work to do
he will not mind at all.
Invoke him in all situations
whether big or small.
Send him in ahead of you
to prepare and smooth your way
and take care of all the details
that crop up in your day.
Talk to your angel
as you’d talk to a friend
and his wonderful assistance
to you he’ll extend.

This poem is not meant to belittle the flu. I can be awful and I once had pneumonia and it a serious matter. This is about a person who is grossly overestimating his condition. He is a bit of a hypochondriac. Some of my poems are on serious matters, others like this are written just for fun. Having said all that if you or your family have the flu, take it seriously and look after yourself.
The Poor Flu Victim (a non – serious poem)
My cough is loud
My temperature high,
I feel so awful
I shall die!
The doctor said
It’s just a cold
But pneumonia is
Starting to unfold!
No one seems
To comprehend
That this flu
My life shall end!
Let’s ditch the differences
And play a game.
Let’s pretend the churches,
Are all the same!
We don’t let facts,
And truth, slow us down,
We bury them safely,
In the ground!
The facts we choose,
To ignore,
As ways of unity,
We explore!
I have learnt about two special devotions, which people use in order to pray to Mary for help. The first is to pray to her as: Mary Undoer of Knots. (This devotion is based on an old painting of Mary undoing knots in a rope, which represents our messed up lives) and the second devotion is based on a prayer that asks Mary to take over and help solve difficulties and problems. I have written the following prayer (poem) which ties together these two devotions.
A prayer to Mary Undoer of Knots (poem)
Mary undo the knots
That fill up each day,
Untangle the troubles
That come our way.
Mary take over
And help your child.
Wipe away the tears
And bring back a smile.

The powerful intercession of the Holy Souls in Purgatory and ways to help them

I bought a farm
Which was run down.
It was fifty miles
To the nearest town.
I ploughed the ground
And planted the seeds,
Watered the plants,
And tore out the weeds.
With water levels low,
In the tank,
New artesian wells
Into the ground
I sank.
Some rain was needed
For the crop,
But there wasn’t even
One small drop.
I waited, waited,
For the rain,
And finally
One day it came.
It rained non-stop,
Every day,
Washing all
The crops away!
Then the bushfires started
And the barn burnt down.
I quit the farm
And headed for town.
A bakery shop in the town,
I now run,
And dough I am making
By the ton.
The following three poems were written in my high school graduation autograph book by fellow students
When upon this book you look
and on this page you frown,
remember the one who spoilt your book
by writing upside down.
(The poem was written on the page upside-down).
Never kiss at the garden gate
Love is blind but neighbours ain’t.
When you have twins
Don’t come to me for safety pins
On the isle of Futuna
Father Peter did toil,
To plant the Gospel
In hard rocky soil.
The converts were few
But the hardships were great.
The king’s son converted
Peter gained the king’s hate.
For all of his efforts
Father Peter was killed
It looked like his efforts
Would now be stilled.
But up in heaven
He continued to pray,
And the isle of Futuna
Is Catholic today.

Joe the Smoker
Joe took up smoking
When he was young.
His friends told him,
That it was fun.
Joe thought that smoking
Made him look cool,
But in truth,
He was a fool.
His lungs collapsed,
And his health failed,
Things went bad,
And poor joe wailed.
He collapsed and died,
His family cried.
“He only lasted forty years”.
They said as they sobbed,
Though their tears.
Learn a lesson,
From Joe our friend.
Smoking kills you,
In the end.

The Mission Bell,
What does it tell?
To come to church and pray,
To worship Jesus,
At the start,
Of each new dawning day.
To thank Him,
Serve Him,
Praise Him,
Love Him,
To abandon every sin.
And also to let go of life’s,
Distracting noisy din.
Our humble messenger,
The Mission Bell,
Takes care of us,
And serves us well !
Our Lord dictated the following prayer to St Gertrude the Great to release many souls from Purgatory each time that it is said.
Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
The above prayer was given approval in 1936 by the Bishop of Liera, Portugal. This prayer is widely publicised with the claim that 1000 souls are released each time that it is said. However “1000 souls” was replaced from the original word “many” and the words: “those in my own home and within my family” were added after 1936.
Reflections on the prayer of St. Gertrude the Great
which is displayed in this posting
Many souls who are in Purgatory need only one prayer for their release, and unfortunately they are detained until this prayer has been offered for them. The fact that the “St. Gertrude” prayer releases many souls each time it is said indicates how great is the Mercy of God. It also shows that God is making allowances for weak human nature that tends to run away from anything that looks like penance. The fact that many souls can be released by the “St Gertrude” prayer is a large incentive to the living to say this easy prayer as often as possible; thereby increasing their merit, reducing their own Purgatory, and obtaining the assistance of the Holy Souls in their needs.
