In the meantime, in honor of Holy Week, and Palm Sunday in particular, we'll post this well-known poem of G.K. Chesterton:
The
Donkey 
When fishes flew and forests walked 
And figs grew upon thorn, 
Some moment when the moon was blood 
Then surely I was born. 
With monstrous head and sickening cry 
And ears like errant wings, 
The devil's walking parody 
On all four- footed things. 
The tatter'd outlaw of the earth 
Of ancient crooked will 
Starve, scourge, deride me, I am dumb 
I keep my secret still. 
Fools! For I also had my hour; 
One far fierce hour and sweet: 
There was a shout about my ears, 
And palms before my feet. 
Have a very Blessed Holy Week!
ReplyDeleteMay we all experience spiritual joy as we offer sacrifices in honor of Our dear Lord!
"There is a vital objection to the advice to grin and bear it. The objection is that if you merely bear it, you do not grin."
