Easter Poetry: Mary Wickham rsm
)
Mary Wickham rsm has composed two poems for this Holy Week and Easter: Finding Eucharist and Kneeling at Easter
Finding Eucharist
Some lament the morphing of Mass
that Covid has made, taking it from churches,
the cessation or forced dwindling of assemblies and custom.
The elsewhere becomes the beckoning locus for Eucharist....
Clonmacnoise
Kneeling at Easter
There are no synonyms for the verb to kneel.
It stands unique, nothing else says it.
It can be an act of cruel coercion, gun to head,
but at its best is a gesture of wonder and waiting
and rightful creaturehood...
