Mother Teresa wrote this poem – Do It Anyway

People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Read another poem by Mother Teresa : LIFE

The flesh can not Please God.
Earthly desires,
Its goals and pursuits,
Have no eternal value.

God in us, His Holy spirit,
Will please God
His justice will be found
in our hearts, minds and souls.

He who raised Christ
Will raise us up!
When we yield To the Holy Spirit,
We die to fleshly desires.

We are the sons and daughters
Of God adopted by Him
He is our Abba Father!
Unity and Oneness, found in Him

Draw closer to Christ only this
Gives us true freedom In Him
by His Holy Spirit sent
to be our comforter.

In the solace of Adoration
I ask the Holy Spirit to pray thorough me
Giving my mind, heart
and Spirit to Him

The Holy Spirit knows How to Pray For me.
Better than I do myself,
John Paul II encouraged us to
do this and cry out to Him.

“Come, Holy Spirit pray for me!”
For my children, my spouse, My friends,
my everyday needs.
You know my needs before I even
Bring them to you.

Lord send out your spirit
And renew the face of the earth!
Jesus  My Lord, My God and My Savior,
May we know unity by Your Holy Spirit.

We have a love that can never
Be taken from us,
Pray for us Holy Spirit,
With our Fathers Love. Amen!

More Holy Spirit Poems

Father, You have
Welcomed me home,
I embrace all
The Saints that have
Gone before me
And are my inspiration.

I come to you with
Awe and Wonder,
At how I can often
Receive You,
In the real presence.

To receive the
Blotting out of
My sins.
Giving me a way
Of atonement.
By coming before You
Through the sacrament
Of confession.

I know I will find
Grace in the sacraments,
I am in awe of the fullness
Of the Faith.

From the work
Of your divine appointing
Out of the line of David.
You sent your son Jesus,
To set up a kingdom
That will never end.

You proclaimed that
The keys to your
Kingdom are in
The hands of Peter
And upon this rock
You have built your Church.

The one true everlasting
Body of believers
Which I am to unite with
For all time.
