Dr John Celes Poems

by the Holy Cross
Christ Lord won eternity
sealing satan’s doomsday
...

the Holy Cross of Christ
was passion, pain and sadness
but ended in joyful, glorious victory
...

disown the world for Christ’s sake
inherit a hundred times more
and eternal life
...

1 I lack nothing as Yahweh’s my Shepherd!
2 He lets me lie on grass meadows;
To tranquil streams, He leads me by
3 Restoring my spirit that’s low;
...

My soul’s garden must grow those plants
And trees and shrubs that yield good fruits;
Sin grows like weeds that stifle growth
Of virtues and more vices grow.
...

The little crosses coming in life’s way
Sometimes appear heavier than we carry;
We trudge and struggle forward, come what may;
Our weak spirit, the Lord, tries to query!
...
