+ 9TH POEMS: Consdering 2 Corinthians 5:8 In The Light Of My Approaching Repose

To be absent from the body

is to be present with the Lord;

to be present in the body

is to worship Christ in Liturgy

that presents the fullest accord---

beyond even the least deviation---

with the Faith of which the ancient Saints,

gratefully believing, took delivery:

the ancient Saints, the Orthodox redeemed

of the great congregation.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The seventh and eighth lines allude to Jude 3.
