And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them,
until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. (Gospel)


Christ Our Earth

We are given
moments
of clarity

which give
meaning
to what we do

without
obliterating
the fact
of suffering

which we have
experienced
and know we can
experience

a peace
a joy
a knowing

that
what was begun
in us
will be completed
in us

a desire
a wisdom
a love

in us
over which we
have
no control

but much
control

for this
we thank you
Father
