A Plea
Heavenly Father we come to Thee, Hear our supplication and plea, Strengthen our faith no matter what we see, During these times of uncertainty. Sovereign Father let our every prayer, Will give us solace with your loving care, May you be with us now and forever, As we trust in Jesus Christ our redeemer. Amen. ************************************ – Joan Amorganda / #016-16032021 #Poem, Poetry, My Poem, Poetry Challenge, Quote, Quotes, Quotation, Quotations, Verse

My Take on “Paradise Lost”
“Paradise Lost” an epic poem by the English poet John Milton, A book bought from a quaint antique shop in Hunstanton. Chipped as it was still I gratefully and frenziedly acquired, Voluminous 1883 edition, to read it more time is required. A book widely popular among scholars many have told me, Reluctantly it took me ages to finally learn and see, Read that book “Paradise Lost”; it is a treat to behold. Take time to grasp its intended gist for what it foretold. So much to learn from this centuries-old literary piece, First published in 1667 hailed as Milton’s masterpiece. The poem concerns the Biblical story of the “Fall of…

Survivors!
Catching Covid-19 virus is a fear that is real, Nothing to be trifled with, it’s a very big deal. Getting a positive is a challenge and a test of will, Hoping & praying that your breath will not still. From far & wide well-wishers send prayers & support, Backed up with fruits & vegs that they kindly bought. They boost the morale in more ways than one, Thoughts dwell on when can we go out & feel the sun. The days of quarantine are disconcerting & long. Are they sure that they did not get the test so wrong? Finally, the call comes in to end the seclusion.…

Abide!
Lord God, as you are enthroned in your kingdom, May we achieve your divine peace to come. Day by day may you help us to live only for you. To keep the promise of Christ in our hearts, this we’ll do. Abide in us, as we pray to you God our Lord, That your love will keep us all in one accord. Christ, in you we trust with your divine grace, That in our hearts we see your loving face. Amen! ********************************************************************************************** – Joan Amorganda #011-15022021 > my poem, poem, poetry, quote, quotes, quotation, quotations, pray, prayers

May the peace of God be upon us!
When we have the peace of Christ in our hearts, thankfulness overflows. Even in the darkest of times, we can praise Him for His love, and trust in His sovereignty. With a strong faith, no one can separate us from the love of God, that is revealed to us in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour. *************************************************************************** – Joan Amorganda #009-09022021 > my poem, poem, poetry, quotes, quotation, quotations, pray, prayers

Moments of Reflection!
I wrote this poem dedicated in loving memory of my dear Ate Betty Veranga, who sadly succumbed to Covid-19 several weeks ago. The enormity and extent of this Pandemic may seem nothing to some people. Others insisted that this whole thing is a hoax manufactured by the mainstream media. That is why we see some people who are too complacent in their approach. They are even ignoring and discrediting the precautionary measures imposed by their local authorities on how to help curb the further spread of the Corona Virus in their communities. I may blatantly say that until you yourself carry this virus; your family members, friends or loved ones…

Happy Easter Sunday!
As we reflect and celebrate “Easter Sunday” to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the core essence of Christianity, I would love to share with you a song written by Bill and Gloria Gaither entitled “Because He Lives“. The music on the background is my personal favorite version by Grace Larson. I hope you will like it too. In the midst of these crisis that we are facing right now, remember that Jesus Christ is there for us. Let us believe in Him, entrust our lives in Him, pray harder that we will get through this the soonest. Meanwhile, we do our human best to keep ourselves healthy and…

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the centre of Christianity and the most sacred site of Christendom, is a church within the Christian Quarter of Old City, Jerusalem. It is also called the Church of the Resurrection but was formerly known by its original Greek name: the Church of the Anastasis. The church contains the two holiest sites in Christendom: the site where Jesus of Nazareth was crucified known as Calvary in Latin and Golgotha in Greek, and Jesus’s empty tomb, where he is said to have been buried and resurrected. Within the church proper are the last four (or, by some definitions, five) stations of the Via Dolorosa, representing the final episodes of Jesus’s…
