It is a calling upon their lives
ordinary people
designed for prayer
with the gift of
Divine Empathy
devoid of judgment
they silently pray
at the fork of the road
of perdition
It is a calling upon their lives
ordinary people
designed for prayer
and war
shielded and armed
with the gift of
Devine Mercy
discerning
triage at the front lines
on the battlefield
of our souls
