THE CALL TO MINISTRY | |
TO SERVE IN THE SPIRIT OF JESUS IS | |
TO GROW IN FAITH | |
TO KNOW CHRIST … AND TO MAKE HIM BETTER KNOWN | |
I will do more than belong, I will participate. | |
I will do more than care, I will help. | |
I will do more than believe, I will practice. | |
I will do more than be fair, I will be kind. | |
I will do more than forgive, I will forget. | |
I will do more than give, I will serve. | |
I will do more than teach, I will inspire. | |
I will do more than be friendly, I will be a friend. | |
I will do more than live, I will grow. | |
I will do more than dream, I will work | |
[The above was a hand-out given by Father Padraig Greene at our parish ministry faire. There are multiple versions (of the poem / prose), with minor variations, online with various attributions. They include: Edith Hensley, Edward Everett Hale and William Arthur Ward. I don’t know which is the original version or author. — KMAB] | |
