Ramadan Mubarak to our Muslim community. Our seasons of Lent and Ramadan walk hand in hand this year.

A prayer by Maren Tirabassi,
during the United States war with Iraq in 1991.

Lent comes.
We draw a holy comma
in rushed and busy lives.
We follow down
old scripture words
the journey to Jerusalem.
We stumble into prayer again
and whisper soft
the dearest, fearest
of our thoughts.

Lent comes.
Last year's palms
crumble into ashes.
Last year's peace
weeps into war.
We sing of Gethsemane
amid new tears, new bleeding.
The screaming bombs
burn crosses in our hearts -
this too is God's story.

Lent comes,
but also Ramadan's fast,
Passover's freedom memory,
Easter's crazy contradiction.
Faith is born of prayer
and sings with courage,
while all the children
of the earth
shelter in the wings of God
awaiting our embrace.

- Maren C. Tirabassi "Gifts of Many Cultures" (PIlgrim Press 1995)
