praying for the saints

some will pray to the saints
seeking help for every lost cause 
the tired monk prays for the saints
little unbidden glimpses, prompts to pray
for struggling saints scattered over this world

  3. I imagine some saints are working overtime what with all the madness in the world. It's lovely to think of them being supported too.

    "little unbidden glimpses, prompts to pray
    for struggling saints..." Terrific stuff!

  6. I meant to say "land-dwelling souls". Sigh.

  7. ...and being a saint they would not expect praise for doing their job!

  10. I like the way this can be read with either a Catholic or a Protestant understanding of "saints." May the tired monk find refreshment in well doing.
