Meditation for the First Sunday in Lent

March 9, 2014 By Scott Neely Leave a Comment

The healer gives
from her wound.

Praise the brave.
Praise the gentle.

Praise

guides who have been lost.
teachers who have failed.

doctors who have faced death.
merchants who have known want.

scientists who reach into unknowing.
pastors who stare into nothingness.

hosts who have been homeless.
friends who have been rejected.

lovers who have been crossed.
parents who have lost.

truthspeakers shut out.

Praise.

–Fire: Ash Wednesday to Pentecost
