SOCKS  WITH  HOLES  IN  THEM

Too many sermons have holes in them

like Father McKenzie's socks - as he

darns together words that he hopes -

will take away the loneliness in the

benches of  his  church - scattered 

with people in corners and behind 

poles - all the lonely people who 

long for communion - who long for

union - who long for others - who

long for Christ - the Lonely One -

who takes away the sins of our world.

Father McKenzie please, please, meet 
Eleanor Rigby before she dies.
