Reflection #3 from A (perhaps) Heretical Lectio Divina Mediation

Kenneth DiMaggio

Before his hands
were pierced
and his side
kissed
by a spear
Jesus showed
his fearful disciples
unblemished palms
and chest for which
he could already see
flesh that would soon
be sacrificed and
not only is there a
party where the older
women will cry while
the men joke about how
their boy better not come
home with a foreign
bride there is also
a priest who will bless
this solider
departing from a piece
of American geography
no bigger than a boxing
ring for some far away
mountain range or
peninsular with perhaps
a Biblical name but
for which no one ever
foresees
the scars
the wounds
the disfigurement
and more
he might
bring back
