Friday of Week 2 in Ordinary Time

 

 

 

Have mercy on me.
Have mercy.
Listen to me .
Show me mercy.

David spared Saul.
Saul wept with gratitude.
David was met with ultimate kingly call.
Almost to a kind of beatitude.

Thomas More understood one fact.
Jesus appointed Peter as the church’s first head.
Two thousand years cannot this retract.
There can be no other true churches’ head.

We have to recognise legitimacy.
And accept rightful sovereignty.

……..

David spared King Saul.
More remained God’s servant first
That is all we do.

See 1 Samuel 24: 2-20 and Psalm 57
