TRANSITIONING

As all does fade away, does fade away,

My view of the Eternal sharpens more,

Upon the lasting, sinless, perfect day,

That all His guarded children have in store!

As all does fade away, does fade away,

With temporal and transient left behind,

My spirit takes Delight in Joyful Play

Awaiting those so faithful to His mind!

As all does fade away, does fade away,

The Spring-time medlodies of birds grow sweet

As though in Heaven they are now at play,

Their “Salutations Melodies” to greet!

Farewell to earth, and all its temporal store,

I’ll soon awaken on His golden floor!

Pope Benedict XVI gave a Papal Blessing to my writings in November 2008. As a Catholic Press Association member of 500 worldwide, I am the author of numerous books and articles, including a several-book series for a Catholic college of the arts. My great uncle, Cardinal Volk of Hamburg, cast the deciding conclave vote for Pope John Paul I. As a positive conservative activist of the 1960s, an activism which recently surfaced in my retirement, I was on the ground floor of Ralph Martin's Catholic Charismatic Movement. A former research correspondent of Malachi Martin, I was invited to his New York residence in the early 1990s, to soon receive a handwritten note from him in a hospital recovery room telling of a recent heart attack. Over the decades, I've gained much firsthand experience with separated-brethren Protestants, Pentecostals and Messianic Jews - especially those who, though fragmented, all refuse the Masonic-crafted syncretistic world religious body needed for draconian world government.
