Oh the irony of this mortal situation, <br />being encased in this temporary flesh. <br />For I’m momentarily bound to this earth, <br />although I anticipate my heavenly journey. <br />At the moment of Christ’s crucifixion, <br />the temple curtain was torn in two by God, <br />ripping it from the top to its bottom, <br />which signified His personal invitation… <br />for unhindered, one-on-one interaction. <br />And yet I yearn to feel His presence, <br />knowing that my sin keeps us separated. <br />Struggling seems futile, since He… <br />promised to never forsake His Children <br />because of a inherently flawed condition. <br />Give me daily strength to take up my cross, <br />as I continue tear away my heart’s covering <br />of this unwanted and disconnecting… human veil. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Author Notes: <br /> <br />Loosely based on: <br />2 Cor 3: 7-16,4: 1-6; Mark 15: 37-38; <br />Matt 10: 38-39,27: 50-51; Joel 2: 12-13 <br /> <br />Inside the Jewish synagogue, the curtain had separated the “inner court” from the “holy of holies”, a place where the only the high priest could enter. <br /> <br />By Joseph J.
