Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit... [i] As it never was is not now and never shall be – by my will and understanding The world since time began has followed out His plan We cannot say what Adam should have been and, ever since someone could do it, we could not stop one sin …. Where the stars come from what creatures roam the twists of man’s history are not acts we own All the impossible actuals of the world that we see and illogical facts that we would never let be – How could the One Body [ii] be broken apart? How could the human race war, heart to heart? If “from Every Thing comes good” what can we see in plans turned to nonsense that hurt you and me? How simple, how true, how great and how grand, if God only did what we wished and planned But, perhaps the All-Knowing sees what we can’t see – seeds of beginnings, fruit for eternity As it was in the beginning, is now and shall be ever Glory to God, eternally! (2010s) [i] “Gloria Patri”. Wikipedia. org. {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_Patri} {accessed December 1, 2021). – “ The Gloria Patri, also known as the Glory Be to the Father or, colloquially, the Glory Be, is a doxology, a short hymn of praise to God in various Christian liturgies.” [ii] “Church as the Mystical Body of Christ”.
