lenten poem eighteen

Pau, France. Today.


Carême 18: Sunday's Verse

La météo: il va pleuvoir 7 jours sur 8.

Timely then, this poetry lilting soundlessly, without
fanfare from the church's projection
screen while we await the
service's start.

Connaissons, cherchons à connaître l'Eternel!
Sa venue est aussi certaine que celle de l'aurore.
Il viendra pour nous comme la pluie, comme la dernière pluie
qui arrose la terre.
Osée 6.3

So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD.
His going forth is as certain as the dawn;
And He will come to us like the rain,
Like the spring rain watering the earth.
Hosea 6:3



*Translation of French: The forecast: It's going to rain 7 out of the next 8 days.
