<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> The attached poetry is John’s most famous poem which first appeared in his book
<u>Motivation for the Great Work</u>. Justin Morrill, who was working with fund raising at a Catholic School, asked if he could use the poetry for a Thanksgiving card for their donors. That card spurred the news article from the Archbishop which was quite
a tribute to a younger poet/theologian, John Cock (25 years ago). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> We invite you to print out the card and use for others you may want to share such greetings with. It has been used as a get-well card, a funeral card, and a sympathy card with the Thanksgiving being
“thankful for the life of….” The poem was later adapted in <u>Our Universal Spirit Journey</u> (jpc/llc) to read “Spirit does not promise”… and ending with “…but believe it or not, Spirit does promise ways to end poverty, stop wars, and save the Earth.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
