i believe it’s true
very few people believe
in You otherwise
these seats would be filled and the
crowd would be red on its knees

- Comment from author about the poem: A Tanka. God, If this could be said to be a barometer of belief in the real presence of Christ your Son then I must look at it objectively. For if the Lord is really and truly present as I believe He is then I must accept the fact that His “hands off” approach is meant to guarantee our very freedom. Otherwise, this hands off approach is too much for most people to comprehend and so they’d rather say that there’s nothing there at all but a symbol. And a symbol alone won’t draw a crowd red on its knees. Amen.

Wow, what a powerful message.
Thanks Caleb for your read and reply!
A fine write Gary. You know we agree to differ, with my Protestant side re: Communion/Mass. Though I don't insist on denominational 'labels'.
You’re a fair minded supporter of my work my friend and I am much obliged - especially because of our differences.
Here goes: Pointing ——> “Matters of Life & Death: A Catholic Guide To The Moral Questions Of Our Time” by Gerard M. Verschuuren.
Buy this work, set aside 1/2 hour, and go straight to the chapter titled “Euthanasia” and the section “What Is a Meaningful Life?” for one of the best essays I’ve read on the questions of suffering and the justice of the Last Judgement.
