The Editor:
It was very nice seeing you at David Burke’s big soirée. I hope my poem will be appreciated. I added a super heroine touch to it. I really loved Sister Hélène as all you guys from St. Andrews of my youth.

When I was growing up in the 1980s, my spirituality was very important as it is today. One of my spiritual mentors who is very important and loving as a no-nonsense tough, very loving person called Sister Hélène, who I met through that beautiful one-of-a-kind spiritual Catholic Zen experience, L’Arche.

Sister Marie Hélène
In the dark cold gloomy ghetto of mid-Montreal, lurks a Spiritual Soul who is no doubt God’s all.
She’s got the face of a saint and you know it’s not the point. One encounter with Sister Marie Hélène and her angelic eyes and spirit will bring you to faint and not despise.
She’s known as Sister Marie Hélène the justice-fighting nun, so brother if your intentions are shoddy, you better run.
Because she knows God the Father and Jesus the son. Ministering unto the poor and those in need is this dynamite do-gooder – holy indeed!
For as swift as a lightning bolt after she ministers a healing holy stare?, Sister Marie Hélène disappears to only God knows where.
