Monday of Week 14 in Ordinary Time

It is he who will free you from the snare of the fowler.
And under his wings you will find refuge.
We know that often we err.
But we will avoid the deluge.I was listening to a debate on swifts.
And on the need for more swift bricks.
These tiny birds give us such gifts.
This was something different from the usual politics.

These birds have declined in such large numbers.
We need to provide them with more of a  home.
And  to wake from our unknowing slumbers.
And give these fastest of birds somewhere to roam.

We can protect all our creatures.
For the sake of all our futures.

………

Yes he will free us
From the snare of the fowler
If we allow him.
