Jesus decided to go outside the Israelites, the high priests, the wealthy and the clean to include the poor and blind and deaf in his mercy and salvation. He pours forth a gift of faith and watches to see if the called will serve with and show faith and good works! Even the poor will be welcome at the table of love and bread. They will open up and extend themselves to the needy. Include the needy in their boundaries, as Christ did.
James 2:1-10, 11-13, 14-17.

Antidote (Poem Spell)
.
stone in my heart be dust, be dust.
annoying wind, be cranberry yarn.
midnight storm, bring the clear tides in.
leaping dogs, bring the salty shells.
peasant bread, dip in olive oil.
reeds gold and pink, blow in the light.
clenched fist, open and wait.
riot of sunlight, set in the night.
don’t know what to do, you’ve come to the real work.
don’t know where to go, you’ve come to the real journey.
bafflement, get employed.
impeded stream, sing.
