Friday of Week 15 in Ordinary Time

I demand mercy.
Not sacrifice.
Perhaps less controversy.
And more just being nice.

The church spire rises.
From the sylvan hills.
Thus faith arises.
Through grinding centuries’  mills.

God is proven by design.
All this cannot happen by chance.
All follows a rational line.
An ordered beautiful dance.

If God had not ordered it.
Surely chaos would have ruled it.

…….

He demands mercy
Not animal sacrifice
For redemption

……..

See Matthew 12: 1-8
