PASSOVER   MOON 

Bright white light in a dark monstrance sky….
Jesus was in the garden - just two nights

ago or so. It was after the Passover Meal.

Praying - he was hoping they would pray

with him - but no, they were sleeping.

Then came the arrest - because of Judas’

betrayal - money and a kiss. Jesus was

arrested - mocked - put on trial - dragged

and killed on a hill - on a cross that Friday

afternoon. He was buried in a borrowed

tomb. Then the Father pulls him out of

that stone tomb tabernacle - to rise, to

proclaim:  hope, peace, new life, resurrection

to those in locked upper rooms - brains in

stubborn skulls - minds that were Thomas

sure that there was no more. But there was 

more at Galilee’s shore - bread - full nets

of caught fish  - breakfast with Jesus on

the beach of the future - still going -

2000 years later. Looking at the

Passover Moon, does anyone have 
Thomas doubts that there won’t be 
more - much, much, more - to come?
