the earth lies scorching
not by heaven’s cleansing fire
but human folly 

though house maybe divided 
don’t lose heart - but persevere

Ignatius at Montserrat, Jun ‘22

all life ends in death
worldly things are left behind
how much is enough

what we hold on to - owns us 
letting them go - set us free

Ignatius’ Epiphany, Jun ‘22

2022.03.20: reckoning

now is a good time 
neither too late nor early 
turn and face the Truth

it’s too late after death comes 
reconcile while there’s still time

2022.03.06: magis

the world's temptations: 
power, prestige, possessions - 
none will survive death 

so live each moment fully 
in light of faith, hope, and love

2021.11.21: Friend

dawn through undergrowth, Oct ‘21

those who hear his voice 
the king of the universe,  
the truth, sets them free 

he call his followers: friends
he gives them abundant life
