Haiku of blessing
They came to test
him,
the Pharisees,
loving law;
What about divorce?
For your heart’s
hardness,
Moses permitted
divorce.
Human brokenness.
Two becoming one:
a generous unity
and image of love
They brought their
children
to be embraced by
Jesus,
seeking his
blessing.
The twelve
gatekeepers,
also known as
disciples,
spoke sternly to
them.
Let them come to me,
said Jesus
indignantly,
and do not stop
them.
To children like
these
the kingdom of God
belongs;
enter like a child.
He took the children
into his arms,
blessing them,
declaring God’s
love.
