The Pure Beauty of a Priest

I’m sure you’ve read the poem
“The beautiful hands of a Priest”
There is so much more about him
That helps us be complete

God’s Love and Mercy he imparts
His mind and soul is filled with Grace
But nothing more can fill your heart
Than the beauty of a Priest’s face

His eyes are filled with compassion
As he listens to our cares
His tongue speaks Truth and Wisdom
For our souls to be repaired

His lips can shape an encouraging smile
And add brightness to our day
Sometimes we see the furrowed brow
When we fail to follow the Way

Yes There is beauty in a Priest’s hands
Which nothing can replace
But what I have come to understand
Pure beauty is in a Priest’s face.
