At Your Feet with Mary--Oct. 26, 2012

 If we could sit with Mary at your feet

and listen to what you are saying,

what would you tell us, Jesus?

Would you expound about how God's

terror lies heavy upon us, ready to

overwhelm us with its waves?

Would you describe those four angels

waiting to be released so they can

go kill a third of humankind?

I think your emphasis might be how

to do justice, love kindness, and

walk humbly with our God.
