THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT / by Joe Castorino

Our fruit is very sweet,

And He is very happy,

When we remain attached

To the one true Vine.


Joy warms us with light,

Peace conquers fear,

Patience stops time,

Kindness multiplies smiles.


Generosity feeds the world,

Faithfulness makes us a Church,

Gentleness purifies the heart,

Self-control shuts out darkness.


But Love, yes Love, wondrously

Binds them all together into

Majestic harmony as our souls

Drink of the Lord’s Divine Mercy.
