Living Faith March, April N May-Lenten Season

Father Christ went down to earth from the Heavenly Kingdom 
Mother Mary bore Him in a humble manger with animals
He had a presentation at the temple
Mother Mary sad at the loss of Father Christ and joyous on finding Him surrounded by teachers in the Temple
*
Was Baptized as Christian by His Cousin, John the Baptist
 Proclaimed

Lenten Season

It’s time to commemorate Jesus’ passion
At the cross for world’s glorious redemption
An opportunity to reflect as Christ’s followers
Unifying in deeper faith to our Almighty Father

Lenten Season

It's time for us to contemplate
And search our mortal souls
And ask repentance for our sins
Created long ago

For 40 days and 40 nights
The wilderness He faced
He sought the solitude He'd get
Withdrawn from human race

He thought of all the things He's done
Relived His blessed life
And asked why all these things would cause
Such anger and such strife

He fasted

The Fry Day Lenten Fish

Lenten Fry day is a nice day for fish 
Witch was Peter’s holiest wish 
They came from all around 
When they heard that faith full sound 
Into the net they swam without worry or a frown  

During this biblical turf war battle 
In the desert without any cattle 
Peter made a nice dime 
Using

God of Mercy and Compassion a Lenten Hymn

With a heavy heart I embrace 
Willingness to come forth efface
All my many unspoken crimes 
In the name of our Jesus Christ.

Beneath the breath of my still tongue
They stay struggling to flit among
Memories of stained sinful deeds.
In the name of our Jesus Christ.

To completely wholeheartedly 
Accept your judgment blessedly
For your most infinite mercy 
In the

A Lenten Message

A Lenten Message

2000 years of theology and science
 double down on assumed separation..
The assumption lies in hiding 
prescribing limits and locations..
Worshipful observing and measuring
lodges us in an imprisoning body..
A crisis arises when it is found
we cannot locate this body or prison..
Of a sudden a veil is removed and
separation melts as ice in warm water..
Yet now

Into the Desert - a Lenten Poem

I go into the desert
To find my lost self.
I go to lodge with vipers
And dine with vultures.
Gladly taking up my cross
To triumph over my transgression!

Into the desert I will stay
With none but myself,
For forty days and nights
There I will be
Finding my lost self!

Into the wilderness I will wade;
Thirsting with Christ
From that world of torment and

Lenten Reflection

Self-denial is the doorway
that leads us closer to God.
To lose oneself is to gain
a deeper intimacy with Christ.

Self-doubt is the window 
through which the devil
makes his entrance.

A Lenten Dirge

A Lenten Dirge
 

Ash Wednesday I saw Quinn again,
first time in years, sailing the streets,
weaving through people,
his collar up, his head cocked, his arms
like telephone poles sunk
in the pockets of his overcoat,
the brilliant pennants of his long red hair
waving over the stadium
where years ago he took my handoff,
bucked off guard, broke two tackles,
found the free

Lenten Limerick

Well, my sex life just got up and went
So I’m giving it up over lent
But should you feel inclined
I am sure you will find
That my arm can be easily bent

A Lenten Tribute

the sun on my back warms me inside
when i think of its brilliance radiating
from the puncture in your palms
where the nails festered. 

those holes grant me agency,
undeserved am I, merciful are you,
cleaning my slate clean time again.

if only my heart could hold more of you.
I strive for full to bursting
but get knocked back time again.
[My
