“Lord, here are two swords,”
we cried, as youth will cry
in pity and in ignorance;

| Peter draws his sword at the arrest of Jesus |
But we divided,
you, weeping with intellectual fervor

I want to thank the Toronto Catholic Witness for your enthusiasm for my writing efforts. May God bless you. Not coincidentally today is the feast day of St. Thomas Aquinas, who wrote much of the liturgy for the feast of Corpus Christi. I personally had nothing to do with the timing of the publication date of the poem on the Eve of this great feast, and only realized what God had done when I went to Mass today.
