December 2016 Philadelphia Chapter of Pax Christi U.S.A.
Woodcut: R.F.McGovern
A mystery womb veiled Later lost in the quotidian
Even the anointed herald asks:
Are you the one? Need we seek another?
A chosen disciple inquires:
Can any good come from Nazareth?
The crowds wonder:
Is this not the carpenter’s son?
And the parables: Seeing yet not Seeing Hearing and not hearing
Pascal’s comfort: You would not seek Me If you had not already found Me.
John P. McNamee Christmas 2016
