sixth friday in lent


“But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.” 2 Corinthians 4:7

our lives shattered
by isolation, livelihoods
tossed out the back door
to lie broken in the
alleyways of the world,
the future seeming more
murky minute by minute,
still
you would use us
as your most precious
possessions
to be the grace, the hope,
the wonder, the welcome
the world needs
