Haikus
Ash Wednesday
We wear black crosses,
Dismissed to a holy Lent.
How shall we keep it?
Palm Sunday
Today, Palm Sunday.
Then Good Friday five days hence.
Easter but a dream.
Maundy Thursday
Christ dies tomorrow.
Today we eat bread and wine.
The altar’s left bare.
Good Friday
The cross before us
Blocks out the rest of the world.
The Lamb of God dies.
Easter Vigil
We start in darkness.
New light proclaims the Good News—
Jesus is risen!
--Lionel E. Deimel
