Listen to the cry.
And the prayer your servant makes.
Hark to the lonely sigh.
For all our hopeful sakes .

I was standing by the statue of Mary in her place .
It came to me , it didn’t matter if all this was true.
I like it here,  the readings , the liturgy, the space.
Why worry if this means life eternal life for me and you.

A profound and happy acceptance came .
This was it , the present moment of peace.
Then the fretting brain started off again.
Why do we have to rationalise, worry without cease.

Stare into Mary’s eyes.
Forget the brain’s lies.

……..

It’s just a moment
Peace and belief come to us
Then it is all gone
