Genesis 6: 5-8; 7: 1-10; Psalm 29: 1-3, 9-10; Mark 8: 14-21

do you not see
do you not hear
do you
not understand
there is enough
do not let
you hearts
be hardened
by the religion
of the Pharisees
and the politics
of Herod
but live
in the Holy Spirit
who guides us
to share
in faith
with love and joy
patience and peace
kindness and gentleness
for the common good
in God’s justice
God’s love for all

Is your heart troubled and hardened by religion and politics?
Do you see the path of the Holy Spirit?
Do you follow?
