Memorial of John the Baptist
1Thes 3:7-13; Psalm 90: 3-5,12-17; Matthew 24:42-51
fill us
at daybreak
with your love
and kindness
that we
may always
stay awake
doing your works
of mercy
and love
being nourished
and nourishing
a starving world
with your
Presence
prospering
the work
of your hands
keeping at bay
all that
would steal
what is your
goodness
Are you filled at daybreak with his love?
