A moment with God

A moment spent with God restores
The insight which we need.
A moment spent with God prevents
A hateful word or deed.
A moment spent with God can turn
Profound despair to hope.
A moment spent with God can give
Man's mind a cosmic scope.
A moment spent with God converts
unwisdom to sound sense.
A moment spent with God can change
Deep fear to confidence.
A moment spent with God can set
The sin-bound captive free.
A moment spent with God transforms
Defeat to victory.

(Gail Brook Burket)

A moment spent with God
Purified the heart of David
made him a model of repentance
and humility and conversion /.

A moment spent with Jesus Crucified
sanctified the Thief
and opened to him the Paradise.

A moment spent with Jesus
purified and sanctified Madalena
for eternity.
