Wood Hath Hope

                                                              Job 14:7, 9 

there is hope 
for a tree,
if it is 
cut down, that it will sprout again... 
at the scent of water it will bud and send 
forth branches like a young plant. 

Seems like Monday but it's Tuesday

Antiphon on Psalm 28

My 
heart 
trusts 
in the 
Lord 
and I 
have
been 
helped. 

Labor Day

                                                                                     Canticle 9

Cry aloud, 

inhabitants 

of Zion, 

ring out 

your joy, 

for the 

great one 

in the midst of you is the Holy One of Israel. 

God our Creator, 

we are the work of your hands. 

Guide us in our work 
that we may do it, 

not for self alone, 
but for the common good. 

Make us alert to injustice,

ready to stand in solidarity;

                                       that there may be dignity for all

                                       in labor and in labor’s reward.  

                                       Grant this through the Holy One
                                       in our midst, Christ our Lord. Amen
