The Presentation of the Lord

Now Master you can let your servant go in peace.
Because my eyes have seen the salvation.
Before my decease.
And for our redemption.

Which you have prepared for all nations to see.
A light to enlighten the pagans.
And to which we bend our knee.
In all of our lands.

Today I have put away the crib.
For another year .
But the child remains.
To take away every tear.

Christmas finally comes to an end.
But let us still attend.

……

We can go in peace
Because we have seen the light
For all nations

See Luke 2 : 22-40

Wednesday of Week 4 in Ordinary Time

A prophet is only despised in his own country.
Among his own relations and in his own house.
We seek and are denied our entry.
We feel no bigger than a mouse.

This is the carpenter surely.
The son of Mary, the brother of James and Joset.

But this is our view surely.
We can’t stop questioning every facet.
He is too familiar.
He has walked the countryside.
Perhaps we find the fact that God was here peculiar.
But can we at least not accept him as a guide.
And then in my dream I saw the door opening.
And faith started reviving.
…….
Yes he was despised
By his own country’s people
And are we the same
…….
See Mark 6  : 1-6
