J. Janda
“I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
for although you have hidden these things
from the wise and the learned
you have revealed them to little ones.”
(Gospel)
The Halo Persisting
The Lord
of the Universe
sees
not only
the yellow
columbine
into being
but also
the
poor man
whom he
loves
so dearly—
in spite of
his
lack of
delicacy
