Today, I am baking bread with young women of my community. We commit the same act of prayer and connection, exploration and discovery that women, and men, have wrought through long generations. This is living veneration, asking the grain to submit, to transform, to rise renewed as the staff of life.
Kyrie Eleison
there are too many of them, Lord
created out of slipshod schools
and cruel indifferences
Christe Eleison
they are too hungry, Lord
who has washed their feet?
or held them when they cried
and told them, you are not alone?
Kyrie Eleison
They are too formed of evil things and lies
their heart is so beyond my reach
as they burn the innocent, damn the lot
Good Friday
has never acceded to consumerism
you cannot sell this kind of sacrifice
Mother of God
why is it women and children first?
who cannot run away, who would be fools
enough to cradle the generals, crying
my son, my son, you too are my son
All My Relations
All My Relations
All My Relations
All
Kyrie Great Mother
Love Come Love Come Love Come.
Hmmmm, so good!
