Divine Liturgy:
Feast of the Entry Into the Temple

Together we pray
with the nations, sing
in many tongues
one praise, one thread of dreams,
chant prayers of heart joined
together as smoke of incense which
rises from wounded time
into Eternity.
Our Baptismal candles lit;
the gift sealed, lighting
our dark places,
small flames set alight in the world
from many mystically joined
& made fit to serve
as one unity,
to eat one bread;
drink one cup
recognize one holy church,
one whole body in
& of Christ our
Lord.
