Feb. 2: Day by Day with Father Bill

FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD

 
‘Tis the gift by Padraig O’Tuama
 
‘Tis the gift to be gentle
With your self at the end
of a day when you’ve given
of a day when you’re spent.
To re-create, to breathe
and to rest
and to treat your own self
as your own
welcome guest
 
When hospitality’s in place
you’ll be kinder
to your self
and less inclined to haste.
 
You’ll turn
and you’ll fall
and you’ll find
that you’ll say
 
welcome to the night
and
welcome to the day.
 
Father Bill +
