Those first disciples felt, in their souls, a happy tumult,
the joy that the Gospels declare, in which we, too, exult---
the assurance of Salvation, embodied in Christ's Resurrection;
through His Grace our Faith is turned in a starward direction.
Starward
Author's Notes/Comments:
This poem came to me, almost entirely intact, just after I finished listening (remote) to the Divine Liturgy this morning. I needed only to transcribe the poem and look up the Biblival references in Luke's Gospel; Revelation 22:16 is my very favorite Scripture, and one of the three that of which my screen name reminds me constantly.
