They clothed him in purple
and, weaving a crown of thorns, placed it on him.
They began to salute him with, All Hail, King of the Jews!
and kept striking his head with a reed and spitting upon him.
(Passion according to Mark)
Blessings
blessed be the shy
blessed be the gentle
blessed be the meek
blessed be the mild
blessed be the courteous
blessed be the reverent
blessed be the humble
for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven
blessed be the scorned
blessed be the rejected
blessed be the outcast
blessed be the mocked
for all illusions
as nightmares
must pass
but what shall remain
is each soul’s light
flashing forth from
the Father of Light
ringed in constellations
of light now and forever
amen
