Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor
and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.
(Gospel)
For the Christ
did
not consider
his
divinity something
to
be clung to
but left his
land
to be our servant
outstretched arms
were
his only posture
as an infant
to
his death on a
cross
for such the
Father
desired in the
Spirit
