He began to teach them that
the Son of Man must suffer greatly. (Gospel)

Christ Our Earth

We are given
moments
of clarity

which give
meaning
to what we do

without obliterating
the fact
of suffering
which we have
experienced
and know we can
experience

a peace
a joy
a knowing

that
what was begun
in us
will be completed
in us

a desire
a wisdom
a love

in us
over which we
have
no control

but much
control

for this
we thank you
Father
