An Ordination Poem


ORATORIO



Out of Today,

into Eternity,

I am thy anointed.

My fingers are shadows of the Cross,

flaunting thy sacrifice.

My body is a candle,

flame rimmed in wax fragility,

burning for Thee.

My heart is a chalice,

Blood of earth,

sanctified to hold Thee.

My life is incense,

winging whitely to Thee

On the winds of Time!

E. Coffey
