Day 28, Sonnet 28

Must God be found within the Church alone,

In rites performed by fragile human hands?

Does sacrament save hearts still formed of stone?

Does prayer outwit one’s selfish, vain demands?

By souls that claim to know His holy Word

I have been scorned and duly cast aside

But Jesus’ love in me is not deferred

For He alone serves as my Lord and Guide.

The Lord is not by walls of concrete bound

Nor fixed by time nor words from cleric’s lips

God is the sky, the sun, the air, the ground

He is the anchor of our spirits’ wand’ring ships.

A Church is built within my very soul

Its strong foundations keep my spirit whole.
