Christlike patience

Originally published in Portuguese

Though Jesus was judged
and suffered under the cries 
     of an unforgiving world,
he maintained a calm attitude;
he knew how to plant the seed 
     of forgiveness.

All are protected;
we can overcome problems.
If we are under an attack of fury,
supreme defenses come 
     from the infinite.

True man is dressed in light,
created with good thoughts.
Evil has no basis; therefore, it languishes
in the shadows of the mistake of hostile 
     reasonings.

I continue onward on the road of Love,
reaping treasures that come only 
     from the Divine.
The great everlasting mountains rejoice
at God’s message echoed in the 
     meadows.

We are all devout children of the God 
     who heals us,
washed in the sea of innocence.
True Christians stand firm
in the rule of divine patience.
