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

in those tossed aside
by an uncaring world,
in the folks sleeping
rough on park benches,
in lives shattered by
isolation’s pandemic,
in the ones whose future
lies in dust at their feet,
we find the heirlooms
of your heart, that
grace, that wonder,
that justice, that hospitality
we would never have
within ourselves if
you had not placed them
there
