First Sunday in Lent

Jesus Administered to by Angels

James Tissot c.1886


Adds to my conception
of the Soul

Actually these are from

the first Monday in Lent

I often stop in for prayer then

In the vast cathedral

with perhaps only one or two

other worshippers

and a few regrettable

security guards

Quality of Light

Jesus accepts His burden

A Station of the Cross

Veronica wipes the face

of Jesus

Secular, agnostic,

or just plain scoffer,

Come inside here and

 ye shall be changed

An atmosphere

 permeates

through us

Generous

Senior citizen

crosswalk island

on a barbarous

boulevard

Both sides now,

everyday

miracles

Christ the Light

illuminating

me in my

 transient gloom

Home again

one can not help

but be moved

The weekly Mass hand-out

how utterly hip,

Symbolist Christ

Tissot's expression

of mystical

visionary experience

Tenebrous

nightfall

There's a light

that still shines

in the darkest hours
