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?
