Threads of Wisdom

In the ethereal expanse, where faith’s breeze carries souls.
Resides a man revered, forevermore,
Joaquim, the holy priest I admire,
An intellectual flame, a celestial fire.

With robes of grace, he walks the aisle,
A shepherd guiding souls, mile after mile,
His heart ablaze with fervent devotion,
To serve the Lord, his lifelong potion.

A leader he was, in the Salesian fold,
A shepherd, guiding his flock with love untold,
With grace and kindness, he forged ahead,
Uplifting souls, where faith was spread.

But amidst all his accolades, his fame,
Joaquim remains modest, never seeking acclaim,
A man of simplicity, a heart pure and true,
He teaches us to embrace humility too.

In sacred books, his mind finds solace,
Studying wisdom, with thoughts so flawless,
St. Thomas Aquinas, his guiding light,
Illuminating paths, both day and night.

In halls of learning, he did abide,
Immersed in wisdom, his intellect wide,
Philosophy’s mysteries, he did unravel,
A disciple true, in Aquinas’ hallowed chapel.

With pen in hand, he weaves profound verse,
Words imbued with grace, as if rehearsed,
His teachings inspire, minds are awakened,
To deeper truths, their souls are taken.

In humble abode, he spends countless hours,
Writing sermons, seeking divine powers,
His words, like gentle rain, nourish the soul,
Uplifting spirits, making broken hearts whole.

His days are filled with relentless toil,
A testament to his unwavering soil,
For discipline guides his every stride,
A life well-lived, in God’s grace, does abide.

Through trials and storms, he stays unwavering,
A pillar of strength, adversity not faltering,
With unwavering faith, his spirit prevails,
A testament to the love that never fails.

Joaquim, the guru, in wisdom he imparts,
A beacon of light, igniting faithful hearts,
A man of God, with virtues pure,
His legacy, forever shall endure.

For the dissertation, a labor of love,
He stood beside, as I soared above.
His wisdom, a guiding light so bright,
Leading me through the scholarly fight.

In the annals of time, his name shall stand,
A testament to devotion, across the land,
A holy priest, an intellectual’s lore,
Joaquim, in my heart, forevermore.
