Daily Word
Mepkin Daily Word
Cast your net again!
Obey, be surprised, enriched...
Come, let's have breakfast!
Mepkin Daily Word
Peace be with you, peace!
through locked doors, through fears, remorse
Peace be with you, peace!
Mepkin Daily Word
both see yet can't see...
but with faith- eyes of the heart,
both can't see yet see!
Mepkin Daily Word
Deep in tears, then called,
Turn and recognize the Lord
Turn, be free, and tell
Mepkin Daily Word
"To my Brothers:
Go, tell that they will see Me!"
You with fear and joy.
Mepkin Daily Word
Christ has arisen!
Gate of Heaven flung open!
Death has been conquered!
Mepkin Daily Word
Mary's silent YES
Yes from CRADLE to the CROSS
Yes unto the TOMB
Mepkin Daily Word
boundless compassion
undeterred crucifixion
wrought us salvation
ex-cru(x)ciating
most remembered death of all
Christ's salvific love
Mepkin Daily Word
self-emptying love
o, take and eat, take and drink
Real Presence stays...
Mepkin Daily Word
broke bread then betrayed
but lo, it's not the last word
Resurrection is!
