Justin Reamer Poems

God, our loving Father, you sent your Son,
Jesus Christ, into this world to counter
all the forces of evil: sin, suffering and death,
and to overcome evil with the force of good;

Divine Child Jesus, we believe in You; We adore You; and we love You; have mercy on us, sinners.

We've come to this Temple in response to your love. We've come in response to your mercy and grace. We are here because You invited us to come before You and to pour out the cares of our hearts to You since You deeply care for each of us.

and expound the mysteries of our past.
...

they have desecrated Your holy Temple;
they have reduced Jerusalem to a pile of ruins,
they have left the corpses of Your servants
...

Shepherd of Israel, listen,
You who lead Joseph like a flock;
enthroned on the cherubs, shine
on Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh;
...
