In the Garden that Sunday

To be with Christ
as Mary was
standing in the garden
on that day
Resurrection
to linger with him
to stand in his presence
in that garden that Sunday
that blessed Easter morn
ours for the asking
listening to God
spending time with him
in this season, reflecting
on all our blessedness

“Michelle and I join with millions of Christians
here and across the world to mark Ash Wednesday.
As we observe the season of Lent, we receive
with thanksgiving this opportunity for grace and repentance,
recommit ourselves to our faith, and
remember our obligations to one another.”
