A poem by St. Francis that, for me, speaks to the 21st century
*THE SACRAMENTS* *I once spoke to my friend, an old squirrel, about the Sacraments –* *he got so excited* *and ran into a hollow in his tree and came* *back holding some acorns, an owl feather,* *and a ribbon he had found.* *And I just smiled and said, “Yes, dear,* *you understand:* *everything imparts* *His grace.”*
Thank you Jnn for your continuing care for us all through poetry, stories and notes. This one is beautiful. 💓 Love, Nancy On Fri, Oct 22, 2021 at 8:02 AM Jann McGuire via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:

Hello Jann, Thank you for this little gem. You always give us a gracious and beautiful little piece of beauty. Thank you. I am engaged in The Last Chapter at the moment, and it is so joyful to see my beloved colleagues from yesteryear! We all look so healthy, we must be doing something right! Much love from down here, with the Glasgow event looming, our Government appears to be dragging the chain on deciding what to do about our carbon reductions. So glad to see your President will attend, while our Prime Minister will be a laughing stock, I fear. Bultmann will call it ‘ Lost Opportunity’. However Hope still abounds! xoxo Isobel Isobel and Jim Bishop isobeljimbish@optusnet.com.au
