Tinker Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Lectio Divina - Meditation on Sunday Reading 3rd Sunday of Easter Cycle C Feed My Sheep John 21:15-16 "Feed my sheep" "Tend my flock" Peter charged to build His church, to feed and shelter. The directive simple without exclusion, nurture and protect. Christ creates a recipe with grains of love, hope, and faith to feed his flock. His blueprint for a strong shelter built on rock foundation of truth, compassion and justice. From earlier scripture "knock and it will be opened", deems His flock inclusive. without our judgment, that's His job.

dcmarti1 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Stray or stay? Perhaps, like the Prodigal, we all return in the end.....somehow, some way. Good rhyme, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks Marti, An on going struggle, not with my faith but with the church I was called to. The Sunday readings just reignited the flame. Vatican III is long past due. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelJosol Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 This biblical citation is very much familiar. The progression of your verses, helped establish the critical choice. I like the alliteration in the first stanza, Tink. Quote "Words are not things, and yet they are not non-things either." - Ann Lauterbach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W. Parsley Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hi Tink, I like the way this moves from the contemplative and general, to the personal. Thanks, - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
