Friday Prayers

Friday-- on this day, I believe Malta celebrates the birth of the Maltese church. It dates from the landing of Paul on the island where he stayed for some three months preaching and from this they count the beginning of the church.

As for me
By a strange perversion
Subjected to the flesh
Unwilling taken
By steps I would not follow
Obedient to an inner wound
By necessity tied tight
Strangled
By a thief
Come in the night


With a humble spirit
Try to submit
And in humility
Search daily 
For the words
To set my spirit
Free.

Acceptance
Is a hard stone
Upon which
To whet one's
Spiritual knife.
