by Pavel Chichikov
I’ve never seen more happiness
Than on the face of one ordained
To be a Roman Catholic priest:
Jacob-Matthew was his name
Strange, to be a servant only
Not a master, neither wealthy,
Yet a face of light he was,
Servant from the Mountain, Moses
Strange to be though not a father
Leader of the lambs and ewes,
Also as the Master’s brother
Worthy to untie His shoes
(See Pavel's new book, Mysteries and Stations, here.)
