Sunset at Finisterre
We are only touched
By the beams, brief
Before the light goes
Before it pilgrims away to the other place

Poems for Lent
In Lent of 2019, FaithND offered readers an opportunity to experience a digital pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Each day throughout Lent, we meditated upon different aspects of pilgrimage to the Holy Land and on the experience of the Christian life as a pilgrimage—as a journey to holy places in Christian history, as catechumens to baptism, as a journey to heaven—while we walked this Lenten pilgrimage towards the celebration of the Resurrection.

The Spirit of Renewal
She says: the candle flickers
But will not flicker out.
The light is always more than yesterday.
At the Tomb of Christ
Or even worse, she might become aware
Of the wounded world, that all of us
One day pass on. That I, too, will be a name,
Breathed out among names, on a Tuesday afternoon.
The Land Between
your loss and your piercing pain
radiate His luminous glory
whose weight you alone must bear
