Spiraling through Little Pearls of Prayer
Guided by the Spirit,
I strategically move
The little chess pieces
Across the chessboard
Of my daily prayer life.
I awaken to Our Lady’s advice,
I surrender to sweet Divine Mercy,
I spiral slowly through the Rosary,
I feast on spiritual communion,
I whirl through the holy Word,
I praise God through poetry,
I magnify Him in holy mass,
I delight in delicious devotion,
I confide totally in the Christ,
I listen intently to the Light,
I wonder at the wisdom of the saints,
I honor the Hour of Mercy,
I meditate on the Holy Family,
I examine my conscience in humility,
I sleep in my guardian angel’s arms.
The evil one has no moves left,
He fearfully wrings his hands and
Grinds his teeth in eternal despair --
Jesus is the King of the Universe,
He is the Unconquerable One:
Checkmate.
