St John, Apostle

Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first.
Also went in and he saw and believed.
and us, for belief do we thirst.
Have faith we received.

Today, we think of the rising from the tomb.
From the wood of the crib to the wood of the cross.
Just two days ago we thought of the gift of the womb.
We travel from new birth to gain from loss.

St John at the tomb is not named.
It could be us running there.
How much of our doubt has remained.
But were we not told, have no fear.
We, we hope are on a journey too.
From birth to tomb to new birth too.
……
He came to the tomb
And there he saw and believed
And do we do so
……..
