Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
Mary's silent YES
Yes from CRADLE to the CROSS
Yes unto the TOMB
boundless compassion
undeterred crucifixion
wrought us salvation
ex-cru(x)ciating
most remembered death of all
Christ's salvific love
self-emptying love
o, take and eat, take and drink
Real Presence stays...
broke bread then betrayed
but lo, it's not the last word
Resurrection is!
Jesus offers self
love, care and strength to remain
Judas refuses
Mary's anointing
Yes, commended by Jesus
Abhorred by Judas
Christ's saving Passion
Emmanuel in compassion
Death to Ress'rection
Be single-hearted
ever united with God
focused, pure in heart.
I AM with Abram
I AM with Isaac, Moses
I AM with you now
Live, think, speak the TRUTH
Truth by God, in God, for God
Stand by TRUTH, be well.
