Mondback and Wyemond
You raise the mount
I must climb-on
Fervent friends believe
Not in God as I do
You’d even hector
“Hector Molina” I’d
Persuade you to Google
But like photo fiends
After Prince Harry
You’d rather just
Besiege and harry
Not all is to badger
For I find this fun
To frolic with
My contemptuous few
Like new shoe blisters
Brothers and sisters
For in this I find joy:
To be persecuted
For the Faith like Christ my Lord

- Comment from author about the poem: According to Dr. David Anders an author, convert, and popular Catholic commentator (“Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders” Eternal Word Television Network EWTN), the second greatest miracle in Christ’s Church after His Resurrection is the worldwide spreading of the faith to the Gentiles. Literally, in every nook and cranny of the world today the name Jesus Christ is proclaimed. We are going to be prosecuted, ridiculed, even put to death in some countries - although in the US, religious liberty laws offer some protections, we don’t expect any better treatment than the Master received - for we are His friends and we are His servants. Is a servant treated better than the master? “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.” Matthew 10:24. Yet Jesus himself taught his disciples to not waste their time on unbelievers: ”And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.” Matthew 10:14.

Faith can be a powerful elixir or poison.
What a pity, there has been and is more bloodshed in the name of faith
Factually incorrect Suresh - if you meant to say “there has been more bloodshed in the name of atheism” you’d have scored a bullseye. Check it here bro: https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/NOTE1.HTM
Thank you Diamond - I’d say some of the bitterest, most anti-Catholic venom I’ve witnessed, comes from former Catholics. You are gentle by comparison. Thank you for your perspectives. One cannot move toward the Lord until one first corresponds to the grace our Lord gives as he calls one’s soul into conversion. And you’re right: one can’t trade one’s vice in the same way one trades a car (referring to your comment in your poem “Hoax”). One can do nothing alone but one can do the impossible, including the losing of a vice to a virtue, with God’s grace. Prayers sister...May you find true joy in your heart!
