10th August 2025 - Thought from Fr. Colm

A Poem by Deborah Ann Belka


Soon the Lord will be coming,

at any time He could appear

and with Him those who believe

in the clouds will disappear.

Until such time we hear,

the trump that will sound

His return for us . . .

we must hold our ground.

For this world is becoming,

more and more of a place

where it’s harder for us

to stay in the faithful race.

For all around the globe,

no matter where you go . . .

being a Christian today

irks and irritates others so.

Soon the Lord will come,

in the clouds He will appear

so until then good works . . .

we still need to do while here!
