POEM FOR THE LENT
As Christians, we are called to represent Christ in the
world. We are called to be, ' His Body' now on earth. But
when others look at us, What do they see?
I AM THE GOSPEL!
I am the Gospel. Please look at me!
I reflect Christ. What do you see?
I am His Body. I have taken His place.
I represent Him. He is seen in my face.
I shine for Him. I light up your dark.
I am His handiwork. Can you see His mark?
I am His Love. You receive it from me.
I am His soldier. I'll set you free.
I am His servant. I'll serve you too.
I am His healing. What do you want me to do?
I am His peace- maker. I anoint you with calm.
I represent His safety. I shield you from harm.
I am His Pardoner. From me mercy flows out.
I am His image. Can there be any doubt?
I show you Christ! Well I think I do!
But you be my judges. Am I convincing to you?

Begin in Silence.
During Lent we examine ourselves to
consider if we are true representatives
of Christ . What do we do best and
where are we failing?
It is a POSITIVE time. A time for doing
something to become ‘better Christians’.
We all fail but the important thing is to
take advantage of the times the church
gives us to try with God to do something
about it.
This poem encourages us to think about
our roles as representatives of Christ.
What does being His representatives
really mean?
Read it prayerfully . In the silence ask
God to show you what He wants you to
do for Him and for His grace to help you
do it.
