A sentry at our post

We are called for a purpose,

We are part of the Body,

We are a sentry at our post,

Ready for the Enemy,

To defeat His attacks,

To protect the Body…

What if we are not at our posts,

When we are broken,

When we are absent,

When we walk away

from the Body, the Church,

Leaving the Body unprotected…

An essential part of the #Body

Is missing, a post is empty,

Attacks of the Enemy can enter

A hole where we are meant to be

In the Body, in God’s kingdom,

In God’s plan for humanity…
