if so, what do we find?
the body of Jesus?
our own body?
the bodies of those
we have killed out of greed?
of those we’ve let die
out of apathy?
or empty grave clothes?
the choice is ours!
resurrection is the choice
that the human heart awaits!
the gospel is compassion,
and compassion,
that which makes us human!
