A Poem To Sit With
12th Sunday of Ordinary Time C
June 23. 2013


“The Son of Man must suffer greatly and
be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed and on the third day be raised.”(Gospel)

This earth has an
age like me

and when our energy
is spent

we shall leave
behind

what helped us
come to see

Love clothed with
the universe
