Do This in Remembrance....

  • If your parish/group/conference/high school is searching for a creative, innovative experience of evangelization, you need look no further than this 40 minute, Catholic, scripture-based, one woman performance. Using over 20 direct Bible quotations and inspired by the Holy Spirit, Eleanor Glenn takes her audience into the very heart of the Upper Room to experience first-hand the final days of Christ and our call in this 21st century to be His modern day messengers.

Those Left Standing (In personae Christi)
- A Poem by Eleanor Glenn

Dearest Ireland,

We, as Catholics, can be harsh, critical and demanding,
But having toured this incredibly beautiful land,
Do not judge "Those Left Standing".

Yes, 'tis true, the horrors are many,
And those guilty will be tried.
But do not be swayed by media vengeance
For there is another side.

"Those Left Standing" are the finest of men
Who continue day after day
To celebrate your Masses, to
Baptize your babies
To give you comfort in every way.

They get up each morning
And go about God's work
Regardless of spit or jeers
They visit your sick and bury your dead
They console and dry your tears.

"Those Left Standing" have told me
"No matter what the media say,
I will not flee, I'll do God's work,
Tis here, in Ireland, I'll stay!".

"In personae Christi"
Those " Left Standing" continue to stand.
Here, in dearest Ireland
Where Catholicism feeds your land.

Dearest Ireland,
Rise up when you meet "Those Left Standing"
Your finest men 'tis true.
I beg you, Dearest Ireland
Rise Up -
And say, "Thank You!".
