Putting on Christ

A garment of virtues
the grace of God given
putting on Christ
to guide our way

Mercy as he showed Mary
judged for her behavior
Kindness in his communion
his healing of the lepers
all who came to him

Humility in his servanthood
following the master’s call
Gentleness, when he said,
chiding the disciples,
“let the children come to me.”
Patience with their doubting
their failing to see.

Living in this world
but staying true to God
a model of righteous
what we aspire to be
