There’s no downside to this way of life,
A safety barrier from confusion and strife,
The Way paved to reveal our highest purpose.
Baked into us we begin to dream;
coerced us,
This state of life, the one we were born into,
Yet tied not to the ground, even if we stayed here to do
The slow work of family. to marry,
Raise mannered children, shunning power and money;
Mining not fool’s gold in making intercessions,
Mean monotonies offered as reparations,
Assiduously assisting during Divine Service,
And banding as One Mystical Body. God serve us!
Reap: recognizing the beauty in long suffering,
Quiet perseverance, and life everlasting!
