With prayers for a blessed rememberance of Brother Francis...
What might Francis say to us today?
What Now, Francis?
Waste not
your tears on me.
on what was
or could have been,
maybe should have been.
Save your weeping
for those who live-
the hungry, the thirsty, the cold,
the sick, the beaten down, the longing-
for those who still have breath.
Turn all of your tears to hope
To fuel God's work-
the death of injustice, pain, and suffering-
with joy.
Cry not for me;
I have eternal life in Christ.
Weep only,
as I do,
for God's hurting people on earth.
