Do not seek to comfort
For I do not weep for myself
This demonstrative emotion
Is for my brothers and sisters
Whose lives are imperilled
To Hunger
To Disease
To Corruption
To Injustice
To Abuse
To Despots
To Terrorism
To Immorality
And every evil inhumanity
Nefarious perpe… Continue

Today,
You know
The troubles of my heart,
You know
What I will say,

To my plea,
Through Him
I ask forgiveness,
So you

Resurrection
An empty linen shroud
Lay strewn on the marble floor,
A poignant symbol of
Death’s broken wretched chains.
They could not bind
The holy innocence of Him,
Who promised salvation and
Forgiveness from our wicked ways.
Whirlwinds from Ange… Continue
