(Celebrating the October 13, 2019 canonization of St. John Henry Newman)
A break in the sky above, blueness among gray,
Succeeding, disbelievers now literate.
A life far removed from the Galilean’s day,
Like mine. your accomplishments accentuate
Sanctity, a daily life well lived, order.
Thinking sensible thoughts, full of faith, I could follow.
In clean streams of insight I could pass them on. your
Intercession proven, doubts aside, your stead now
Secured in Heaven, your state, your fate alongside
The King of Kings. a new friend of mine, catapulting
Me heavenwards. i’m minuscule but schooled in stride,
Expounding, expanding proximities, soon emerging
Into a choir’s choral chant greeted by melody sung,
Hurrahing hosts, angelic beings, and saints forever young.
