Tuesday of Week 2 in Ordinary Time

Why are they doing something on the Sabbath day.
That is forbidden.
Ah, but what  is the way.
To what we ask , are we really bidden.
So there was something  I really wanted to do.
That I could not.
It was frustrating that this I knew.
How could I untie the mind’s knot.
I remembered the words of Galadriel when she resisted.
I have passed the test, I will diminish go into the West.
And thus in my resolve I felt assisted.
And to fate I could leave the rest.
We think , submitting to our will.
We can do good but it may be better to remain still.
…….
I have passed the test
And I will diminish now
It’s for the better
…….
See Mark 2: 23-28
