Student rapWe are called to put our faith into actionIt is not an option it is not a distraction.When we feed the hungry and visit the sickWhen we welcome the lonely we give hatred the flick.Some great examples of Christians from the past,From disciples to the saints their actions were a blast.Mary Mac set up schools all across the nationHer life in Christ is a cause for celebration.There's Teresa of Avila who could meditate so deepThey thought she wasn't with it, they thought she was asleep.But when she finished praying she moved all over SpainShe set up heaps of convents, even in the rain.At Eucharist we gather, we remember and we shareThe life and death of Jesus, his presence everywhere.But at the very end, just as we turn to goThe words are clear, our work’s not done our actions have to show.If today we want our faith to really find some tractionWe have to show it to our world in every little action.We need to pray, gain strength within not merely for our selfBut show the world the light of Christ, the centre of our wealth.23
