Give me Thomas Aquinas, scholar who grew <br />from a dumb ox in school! Ignatius Loyola, <br />who founded an order of religious warriors <br /> <br />that taught millions of kids; John the Baptist <br />whose was head taken from him; Teresa of Avila <br />whose love transcended all earthly bounds; <br /> <br />Show me another Shakespeare who limned <br />sinners and saints through the grace of his <br />majesty as a playwright and the power <br />of his words as well as any saint upstairs! <br /> <br />Mute angels above, save us from sanctimony!<br /><br />Michael Pruchnicki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-damn-good-is-a-mute-saint/
