A Poem To Sit With
10th Sunday of Ordinary Time C
June 9, 2013


And he said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
The dead man sat up and began to speak,
and Jesus gave him to his mother. (Gospel)

It is the time
when

the heart
is troubled
is divided

and afraid
to believe
in dreams

it is a
winter

the death
of the
seed

but the
beginning of
spring
