Sunday,
December 31, 2006 was Holy Family Sunday.
He recounted his recollections from his youth of writing JMJ (Jesus-Mary-Joseph) on his school papers and he remembered Bishop Sheen who wrote the same three letters on the black board at the beginning of his TV show each week, many years ago. As Father thought about the Holy Family he composed this poem and set it to music. Jesus-Mary-Joseph By Faith we know what eyes
don't show Your help I need; with words I
plead Where e'er I walk, there'll be
a fork I sense a hill "You can; you
will" To God, whose law fills me
with awe, O God, your might can cause me
fright All this
is said by the pray-er or singer except Words and Music by Father Campion Murphy, S.T. |
Those of you who
know Father, know that he loves music and poetry and as he told us, this
homily was special.
