Poem, “Charity Covereth…”

“Charity Covereth…”

By: Eric Gajewski

From the work, "Fortress of the Soul"

Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins.

Be Sober & Watch unto Prayer

Remain Still & Unite thy Will

To My Sacred Heart which Forever Shares

Be Ye Hospitable & Show that thou Care

And Uponst My Holy Hill Ye shalst have thy Fill

Wherest My Mercy & Justice meet, all is Fair...

Receive My grace and be Ye Thankful

For the “man of self” Neglects & With Divine Things art Perplexed

Who Refuse My Mother and all therein Under Her Mantle

For If thou Shouldst Speak Turneth Inwardly unto Me

My Dearly Beloved and act as good Soldiers

And do so Without Complaining, Grumbling or Grudging

Because the Cross shalst Carry Ye thru the Winds

Wherest only the strong legs can climb to wherest I maybe found

Minister and teach but let Silence be thy Way

For when one door closeth another shalst open

Wherest one chapter would end another begins

Therefore be faithful and nobly fight first yourself

And Remember My Word Above All Things

For Fervent Charity shalst Covereth the Multitude of Sins.’

St Vincent de Paul

1 Peter 4:8
But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins.

“Charity is certainly greater than any rule. Moreover, all rules must lead to charity.”
-St. Vincent de Paul
