Catholic Resource Network excerpt of "Lives of Saints"

ADVENT The day of the Lord is coming In these millenium ending times, A mirror reflecting our shadow selves By cosmic traces of creation light To awaken us for insight journey Into the cleansing nights That we may find The Infant of the age to come Beyond the wake Of sound and sight. John R. Phalen, Christmas 1996 © One of many peoms written by our beloved Interim Rector who cared for us so tenderly for the past year! John, we thank God for you and pray much joy in your new endeavors!

MILLENIUM I wait within the space between two realms Threshold to new and to old The boundary lines shift, quantum leap across finite paradigms my mind spans but cannot contain dawning of glorious redemption to come while ages of alienation long for His eyes Rushing towards unfamiliar eras ancient, different angle of a familiar ache who can see the ache of waiting in lonely silence? Who can know where the threads will lead, to be woven into the tapestry of His glory shining with radiant love filling all eternity Written in honor of John Phalen Sonia Balcer, 11/09/97 ©
