Background

Don’t They Know Who We Are?

I once was an Augustinian Volunteer

Those were two Holy Spirit filled years

Now Catholic Volunteers in Florida

But in my day we were Augustinian

Do I really care, not one iota

God’s grace is with them, and that’s my opinion

My eyes were opened and my walk was steep

The world as I viewed it was changed so to speak

Comforting the needy became just a part of life

Watching injustices cut through me like a knife

I was younger and energetic then

But lessons learned may serve again

As a guide to the future and how we should live

God’s love is abundant, so let’s all give

Christ’s love as He would have us do

Live life like He meant it, all of you!

P.S. When we were in formation training we were on the campus of Biscayne College. We were supposed to show ID every time we left and returned to the facility where we were staying. This got old real fast with us to the point where we came up as our sub theme for that week, “Don’t they know who we are?” Biscayne College is now St. Thomas of Villanova University.
