THE FACE OF CHRIST

I’ve seen his face in ten thousand faces - in malls

and in tenement halls – in art museums – in paintings

on walls – and outside art museums - in the hungry

and those without -  especially in those without –

without food or clothing or a place to stay. I’ve see
his face in ten thousand face to face sightings of

each other as everyone walks their way of the cross.

I’ve seen his face on ten thousand crosses – ten

thousands pieces of bread – ten thousand sips of wine -

in his body and in his blood, in Eucharist and in detests

of one another – as we walk the way of the cross with

or without each other. I’ve seen his face in ten thousand

mirrors – in ten thousand sightings of you in me and me
in you, here, there and everywhere around the world.
