Mepkin Daily Word
16 June
Seeds into seedlings
blossoms into fruits, with seeds
seeds of hope flourish
Mepkin Daily Word
Swear not nor give oath
Let 'Yes' mean yes, 'No' mean no
Speak, live by the Truth!
Mepkin Daily Word
Feel, encounter God
life's wind, fire, earthquakes, whispers...
in contemplation.

don't be judgmental,
amid the world's imperfections,
be patient and pray!
Mepkin Daily Word
False prophets, false gods
Love is our Christian journey
Christ fulfills the Law
Mepkin Daily Word
Be true disciples:
enhance God's love in the world,
be light, salt of earth!
Mepkin Daily Word
Our command is love
Created in God's image
Who is love Himself
Mepkin Daily Word
Transitory world
Awaiting heav'nly banquet
Indeed, believe, live!
Mepkin Daily Word
To God, to Ceasar,
Don't secularize th'one nor
deify th'other
Mepkin Daily Word
Called to be transformed
With one another in Christ
by what we receive
