About God and Infinity and the catechism

Catholic children of my era came across the concept of infinity at a very early age. We were taught religion at school by means of the Catechism, a small red book, written in a 'question and answer' style.

The answer to the question, 'Who is God?' was 

''God is the Supreme Being who alone exists of himself and is infinite in all perfections."

(I always liked that but prefer the word 'goodness' to 'perfection'.)

Glad Tidings - A poem about life after life

Glad Tidings 

If you should hear that I have died,

Do not be sad, be glad for me.

(Though life is good and joys abound

Though happiness may yet be found,)

The many tears that I have cried

For grief untold and sorrow seen,

For what is and what might have been,

Will fade away in love's embrace

When we behold the wondrous place

Where all shall dwell in love alone,

Our final and eternal home.

A prayer about living with the knowledge of the love of God

Dear God, please help me to set aside

my introspective woes

and live in the joy of the knowledge 

of your love.




Another prayer to the Trinity

 Father, I ask you to hold me,

Jesus, to heal me

and Holy Spirit to help me

though all this day.

About being beautiful in Heaven

 In heaven, everyone is beautiful.
