Monday of Week 9 in Ordinary Time

 

 

 

 

A man planted a vineyard.
And leased it to tenants.
God has planted us in our own vineyard.
We are his disloyal tenants.

We care so much for material things
But they give us no happiness.
What is money , possessions, power but passing things.
Only the divine gives happiness.

So I sat alone in the empty church.
A great silent heavy emptiness descended.
There was nothing but a wooden cross in that church.
But peaceful joy ascended.

Five hundred witnesses testified to Christ resurrected.
But a moment’s joy can see faith resurrected.

…..

We can read the books
We can listen to sermons
But then joy just comes

……

See Mark 12: 1-12
