Firmly I believe and truly
God is Three, and God is One; And I next acknowledge duly Manhood taken by the Son. And I trust and hope most fully In that manhood crucified; And each thought and deed unruly Do to death, as He has died. Simply to His grace and wholly Light and life and strength belong, And I love supremely, solely, Him the holy, Him the strong. And I hold in veneration, For the love of Him alone, Holy Church as His creation, And her teachings are His own. And I take with joy whatever Now besets me, pain or fear, And with a strong will I sever All the ties which bind me here. Adoration aye be given, With and through the angelic host, To the God of earth and Heaven, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Blessed John Henry Newman, 1801-1890 Comments are closed.
