Also, a standing through Communion (if able - our service book says), can be reverential. But in another ways it conveys impatience I think. Are we all waiting to run out the door at the end, and not bothering to sit down and wait a while?

Doh! I\'ve come acrossa few people - so busy genuflecting, bowing, crossing themselves, they look like they\'re doing some mime show or something. They will be all worn out before the service has hardly started. Maybe it\'s their physical exercise for the day!
Sat next to someone one day in church. he went into over-drive with the above things!
I\'ve never really felt led to cross myself, so I suppose I\'m not going to start now. Can be meaningful, but folk are not more super-spiritual if they do it.

If it\'s against any tyranny really then I\'m with u with your powerful poem of support for your coalition. Atleast the poem is awesomely worded. Liked the mention of the Joan of arc. Kudos.

A good write as a poem Gary. I\'m treading carefully with commenting on the them of it though. Erm, in fact I\'ve not made any personal comment on it at all really. But of course this monstrous evil cannot be condoned.

Have Pity on Us
Gary Edward Geraci said:
There’s a spark of God’s image (and it follows for us Trinitarian Christians, of Jesus Christ) in every human being that has ever walked the face of this earth; whether openly admited or not. I read in a similar article how Rev. Graham consulted with JPII regarding the many Catholics whom would attend his Crusades; how to speak to them regarding his famous “altar calls.” It all worked out for the better I think and what followed is more like what Jesus Christ prays for in John 17. My wife and I loved watching the portrayal of the young Rev. Graham meeting the young Queen Elizabeth in the Netflix original series: The Crown.

A fine write Gary. I know what you mean. The next Sunday is sometimes called Low Sunday - people disappear from church after Easter. well, some anyway!
Arrggh, a bit of an ominous name for a Sunday - pews deserted?! If ya have pews, that is.

A fine write Gary. yet the new is far better! Do they still put out Gideon Bibles these days - in the drawers or on tables in hotel rooms? I have one which had its 48th anniversary recently! Given New Testament in school days. It got lost, then found again!

We might \'rubbish\' ourselves, and even \'rubbish\' God, if we fall into some temptation of :\'God\'s let you down now\' or \'I am worthless\' etc.
Our chile con queso wouldn\'t be worth dipping into apart from Christ. We\'re made \'good enough\' in Him, thankfully.

A fine write Gary, thoughtfully linking the themes. You know me - no transubstantiation, but the Communion still having the same value and worth.
On a lighter note - what rhymes with transub.......?!

A fine write Gary. You know, I expect, I would adjust it - to maybe a plaque from an Archbishop (Church of England / Protestant)?

Nothing new under the sun..All is vanity. in the age of online access and short attention span why be surprised that everyone thinks they have an original thought with mostly angst driven drivel and their need to be recognized. All while not commenting on other sight poetry...people-- commenting on poetry is one a good way to absorb learn the craft...

I really enjoyed this powerful poem. Indeed a poem of love. My own favorite poems are derived from my religious studies they seem to offer(for myself) a sense of otherworldly peace through my own understanding

A fine write Gary. Though I differ, having always been at churches where the host is not seen as transubstantiated. In my hymn-poems on this theme I often point out that it\'s symbolic, for me anyway (my Protestant leaning).
