Saul of Tarsus

By Sr. M., O.C.D. (Blog Contributor) 

Saul of Tarsus                                   

I have to get away--- far far away
I'll go to the desert, the Arabian desert
            far from the Temple
            from the sacrifices
            from The Law.

Stephen! his words still go
           careening around inside my fevered brain:
Stiff-necked! You stiff-necked people
            always resisting the Holy Spirit --
and we killed him
           as we had killed the Lord Jesus.
                     Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?

Sometimes the Light blinds me again
I need to scream out my tears
           until the Light vanquishes my dark
                       until his Love vanquishes my cruelty
and I learn at last that all is loss
           save the surpassing knowledge
                      of The Crucified.
