fifth sunday in lent

 “so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.” Romans 12:5

scattered,

we are still held

in that sanctuary

called your heart.

isolated,

we are still holding

hands with your Spirit

who teaches new dance steps

and songs for these moments.

alone,

we are still family

who love those we cannot see,

who hear the hearts

of those we cannot hold,

who reaches out to care

for all who have cared for us

until we are gathered

together on that day

which will become

a new day of resurrection

for all your children.
