Catholic Bump.
Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas.
The fire in his eye
was like a beacon,
and his face glowed
with a love they did not understand,
these angry young men
with rocks in their hands,
insulted by a light they did not want to understand.
And he talked,
and the tension heightened
and the circle around him tightened,
and the murmuring
broke out into yells,
and he moved into that new reality
and he knew the path
and he realized the way
and he said yes in his heart
to his master's call
and he looked up,
and the love he had,
and the love of his Master
transcended time and place,
and Heaven called him home,
opening wide its gates,
and Jesus beckoned.
No one remembers
who threw the first stone.
But we all remember
how Stephen taught us
how much the love of God was worth.
Catholic Culture bump. Good teaching on St. Wenceslaus.
