ROSARY

TWISTS AND TURNS

Life,
filled with mysteries,
experiences
like beads on a rosary,
like pearls on a necklace,
like drops of blood on the ground.

Life,
filled with announcements, 
visits, births, presentations, findings,
as well as sorrowful moments 
false accusations, beatings,
thorns, crosses to carry – then death.

Life,
filled with hopes
of resurrection and transfigurations,
the coming of the Spirit,
baptisms, weddings, and Masses
time to ponder all that Mary went through –
on the journey from Nazareth to  Calvary.
