This song was performed at Ryan Barrett's funeral. To my untrained ear, it sounded even more beautiful than this. But this version does come close to what we heard on Wednesday. As you listen, please whisper a little prayer for Ryan's soul and for healing for his family.

Franciscan Poetry: by Dan Volpe, SFO
- ~~~~~~~~~
- +++CHASTITY+++
- I'm married. Can I be chaste?
- Desire for my spouse erased?
- Love should move.
- But faithfulness will prove
- That lust by love is replaced.
- ~~~~~~~~~
- +++HUMILITY+++
- Is humility lying down flat
- On the floor by the door, like a mat?
- I'm flawed, not floored
- In the eyes of the Lord.
- And He loves me in spite of that.
- ~~~~~~~~~
- +++ POVERTY+++
- Should I go and buy more?
- Pray, and ask, "What for?"
- If reason be vain, then perhaps refrain.
- If good, head out to the store.
