7/26/15 through 8/1/15

Sunday

The foolish look for merely bread

When even though five thousand fed

On just five loaves, and but two fish

The multitude He gave their wish

Much more He gives to those who see

It's God who works in mystery

With not so ordinary bread

At Mass the multitude is fed.

Monday

A doer, not a hearer

Is what I'm called to be

Not one who finds a mirror

And looks, but fails to see.

But peering at perfection

With persevering stare

Our God provides protection

And blessings everywhere.

Tuesday

The prophets to our fathers spoke

In words disguised within a cloak,

But in our day, with clarity, 

He speaks direct to you and me.

Wednesday

A countenance of Holy Light

The skin of Moses shining bright

Encountering our Holy Lord

The one he worshiped and adored.

Thursday

He walked about in veiled disguise

His face too bright for normal eyes

His features glowing full of grace

When e're he left that holy place.

Friday

It's sad to see the healing art

Become an industry

Forgetting that the true healthcare

Is really ministry.

The Sabbath celebration was 

A gift from God on high

A solemn day of rest because

We need it to get by.

Saturday

He called the sinner to repent

By how he lived and what he said

But Herod, that great coward, sent

And on a whim, John lost his head.
