When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. – John 16:13
Below is Dan Doyle’s moving poem about the need for a return to truth and humbleness. Read through and see how necessary God’s truth is among the chaos of today. Enjoy, and may God’s grace be upon you!

St. Michael’s Rock,
holy-headed isle,
God-scented peak
in the Atlantic waves.
Monk-manned citadel
prayer-bolstered promontory,
stone-drubbed monastery,
You sleep in silence now.
The hours are no longer chanted
in your rock hewn church.
the brothers have all gone to dust.
Only wind and gannets
know your quiet peace now.
Rabbits forage your gardens
and only ruins remember
your heroic lives.
You holy men,
mad with God-love
who saved the world
with your mighty prayers
and your goose quill pens
are needed once again.
The world has gone wild
with barbarous fury
and sinks under the
terrifying weight of ego.
