In sable night
that lacks the stars,
a sealed off cave.
A man, five scars.

The tail of night,
a crack is heard.
Black stone is rolled,
a flight of birds.

Beloved with
her oils and herbs.
She sees the stone
and finds no words.

Your annual reminder that today is NOT Easter Saturday. That is next week.

Today is Holy Saturday as it's HolyWeek. Easter does not start until Sunrise tomorrow.

Limbus

Tree trunk, stripped bare.
Crossbar, damp air.
Black clouds, crows caw,
perched on nails — gone.

A sign, four words.
No voice is heard.
Cramped cave, stone bed
where herbs lay — bled.

Long wait, dark night.
No candles burn bright.
Hinted return.
But silence — burns.

Maundy Night, in Fragments

It was night already—
and the room was close,
low-beamed, breath-warmed,
troubled by the nearness of departure.
The lamp did not so much shine
as shudder.

There are nights
that seem to know.

The basin waited.
The towel waited.
The water, in its shallow little vessel,
held a silence deeper than the sea.

And He—
O strange reversal!—
He whose hands had lifted dust to life,
whose fingers had written mercy
upon the infirm flesh of the world,
stooped.

Stooped.

I cannot loose myself
from that word.

For there are stoopings more terrible than thunder.
There are bendings low
that break the spine of pride
more surely than the sword breaks bone.

And one by one—
sandaled, ashamed, confused—
they drew near Him.
The feet of fishermen,
the feet of zealots,
the feet that had wandered,
the feet still crusted with the stale earth
of empire and fatigue.

And He washed them.

Not as a servant washes, perhaps—
hurriedly, dutifully, with half-averted eye—
but with that unbearable tenderness
which makes the beloved wish to flee.

For who can bear
to be known at the heel,
at the dustiest place,
at the place where the road clings?

Peter recoiled, of course—
dear violent Peter—
as men recoil from love
when it approaches too nearly
the wound.

“No—”

Ah, but all our souls are fashioned of that syllable.
No, not there.
No, not this filth.
No, not the part of me
that has walked where I ought not.

Yet still the water spoke
in its soft and ruinous language.

If I wash thee not—

And then the air itself seemed to splinter,
for one may resist majesty,
but to be excluded from such sorrowful intimacy—
that is a horror no disciple can endure.

So the feet were given.
So the heart, for a moment, trembled open.

And somewhere in the room
sat the other one.

He too had feet.
He too received bread.
He too was near enough
to hear the pulse in the Master’s throat,
to see the shadows gather
beneath His eyes
like birds before a storm.

How dreadful,
that one may sit so near the Holy
and yet prefer the kiss of silver.

Thirty pieces—
thin moons of metal,
cold as the underside of a grave-stone,
small little hosts of another kingdom.

I think they rang already
in the secret chambers of his mind.

The bread was broken.
No—more than broken.
Offered.
Which is the crueler word.

Take, eat—

And all the centuries leaned inward.

The cup passed.
Darkness trembled in it
like an omen,
like a red remembering,
like the heart’s own interior
made visible.

Drink ye all—

All.

Even now the word accuses me.

For the table was long,
and the shadows longer,
and love, longest of all,
stretching even toward betrayal,
even toward denial,
even toward scattering.

Outside, the city breathed
with the heavy lungs of feast and politics.
Inside, eternity had knelt upon the floor
and wrapped itself in linen.

What church can bear this memory?
What soul can keep it
without cracking?

The clink of cup.
The rustle of garment.
A hand withdrawing too quickly.
A glance no one could quite endure.
And beneath all things,
like a distant drumbeat under the earth:

going,
going,
going.

To the garden.
To the dark.
To the lanterns and the cudgels.
To the mouths of false witnesses.
To the rooster’s cry.
To the nails.
To the forsakenness immense and measureless.

Yet here—
here first—
before the torches,
before the thorns,
before the torn veil and the opened side—
here was the kingdom:

A basin.
A towel.
Bread in broken hands.
A cup not refused.
Love stooping lower
than any disciple could imagine,
lower perhaps than hell itself,
that it might fill even the lowest place
with the rumor of God.

And I, remembering it,
can scarcely speak except in shards.

A splash of water.
A morsel of bread.
A traitor’s mouth.
A beloved breast leaning near.
The night at the window, listening.
The floorboards aching under the tread of doom.
And Christ—
dear Christ—
moving among them still
with the calm of One
who has already entered death
and found it, too,
washable.

Then out they went.

Into olives.
Into moon-pallor.
Into that hour which still has not ended.

And the towel lay folded.
And the basin held
the last disturbed water.
And somewhere, perhaps,
one drop remained upon the floor—
bright, unnoticed,
like a tear
or like the first small glimmer
of the strange and terrible mercy
by which the world
shall yet be undone.

Trump Smashes Democrats’ “Transgender for Everybody” Insanity

Since he returned to the White House, US President Donald Trump made it clear that common sense and clarity will return to American life starting from the top. In his latest move, Trump formally ended the “Transgender for Everybody” insanity of the Democrats and this means dismantling the subversive woke policies that harmed children, women and families. The latest executive move is also about restoring decency in America as we know it.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the White House announcement. Some parts in boldface…

Two years ago today, the Biden Administration desecrated Easter Sunday with a “transgender” message that elevated radical leftist ideology over faith, family, and biological truth. This Easter season, the Trump Administration is celebrating a decisive victory: the swift and unrelenting dismantling of subversive, woke policies that endangered children, eroded women’s rights, assaulted common sense, and dragged America toward moral and cultural decline.

Under President Trump, the era of government-sanctioned delusion is over:

President Trump declared it the official policy of the U.S. Government that there are only two immutable sexes: male and female.

President Trump banned federal funding, sponsorship, or promotion of the chemical and surgical mutilation of minors — protecting children from irreversible harm and directing agencies to defund institutions engaged in these practices.

As a result, more than three dozen health systems across the country — including Kaiser Permanente, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Children’s Minnesota, Denver Health, Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, Stanford Medicine, NYU Langone, and many others — announced they are stopping or suspending child mutilation programs.

The Trump Administration ended the un-American indoctrination of schoolchildren by terminating federal support for “gender ideology” and “equity” curricula — enforcing parental rights and putting states on notice to remove such content or lose funding.

President Trump ended the unfair, demeaning practice of forcing women to compete against biological men in sports — which resulted in both the NCAA and the International Olympic Committee, as well as multiple state high school athletics associations, to realign with biological reality.

The Department of War reinstated standards requiring service members to serve according to their biological sex, banned transgender individuals from military service where it conflicts with readiness and cohesion, and prohibited taxpayer funds for sex change procedures — restoring the military’s focus on excellence, not ideology.

The Department of Health and Human Services conducted a comprehensive review of so-called “gender-affirming care” and confirmed the lack of medical or scientific evidence supporting its irreversible effects on minors.

The Trump Administration — including across the Department of War and the Department of Veterans Affairs — ceased all funding for sex change surgeries and related procedures.

President Trump eliminated radical gender ideology from U.S. service academies and training programs.

President Trump directed enforcement to protect single-sex spaces designed for women and girls — including bathrooms, locker rooms, and shelters — based on biological sex.

The Trump Administration axed billions of dollars in grants that had been used by states to perpetuate radical gender ideology and related propaganda.

The Trump Administration ended the practice of allowing gender self-identification on federal documents — including passports — restoring biological sex as the sole basis for official records.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think President Trump and his administration executed enough reforms to restore decency and common sense in America? Are there many members of your family who allowed themselves to be consumed and even controlled by the LGBTQ mobs? Was there a significant increase of members of your local community who came out identifying themselves as transgender or non-binary individuals? Are the transgendered people in your local community openly supporting Palestinian terrorists and the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran?

Golgotha

These three trees in Olsberg have fascinated me for years.
A few years ago, during the severe bark beetle infestation, they were bare and on the verge of dying.
They remind me of the three crosses on Golgotha – and therefore fit perfectly into Holy Week.
