A Brother (/) Poem by Jordan Legaspi

A Brother


Born to be at service to the Church and to her people, as
Reflection of God's love, faith, charity to all peoples, thus,
Opt to live in poverty, chastity and obedience -the total yes;
To be equipped both in academic and in spiritual discipline,
Holistic to promote Jesus Christ -the human and the divine
Endeavor, therefore, the spirituality of maturity and growth
Reality as such, he is a brother, a friend who bears to truth
