Nativity Notes
May 10, 2019
For Cathedral Pilgrims are leaving for Wales this Sunday. Please pray for this group this week.

There are places that seem
to expect us:
to take us in like pilgrims
from the way ahead
to tell us suddenly
and without fanfare
of a new beginning
made out of nothing
but the way we got here
