A Poem To Sit With
2nd Sunday of Lent A
March 16, 2014


When the disciples heard this they fell prostrate
and were very much afraid.
But Jesus came and touched them. (Gospel)

You get too
discouraged

You forget
you are learning
to walk

of course
you
fall down

give
yourself
time

I am patient
with you

be more patient
with yourself

I have something
very special
in mind for you

something
only
you can do

don’t give up
