Michelle Smith Poet Rhyme

Having Within It All Sweetness

Placing two tablets of the Law 
in the Ark of the Covenant
was a gift filling them with awe
meeting His "presence" in the tent
--- to lessen their separation ---
and to provide a place to pray
...now, the tabernacle's station
contains His Sweet Presence to stay


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(August 3, 2023. Thursday of the Seventeenth 
Week in Ordinary Time. Based on: Reading 1: 
Ex 40:16-21, 34-38. And John 6: Bread of Life;

as well as the Catholic Benediction prayer--
"You have given them Bread from Heaven,
having within it all sweetness!" Amen! :-)

Also inspired by the daily meditation in here:
Opening the Treasures: A Book of Daily Homily 
Meditations by Rev. Charles E. Miller, C.M.)
