Lent 2025: Trust

Holy Saturday, April 19

Trust

In an ancient book
I have read of innocents
being thrown into a lion’s den.
I have learned it is so,
But I have trusted.

One whom I believe has said,
“Rain falls on the just
as well as the unjust.”
I have learned it is so,
But I have trusted.

Now this has happened.
Still, I trust.  Yes, still I trust.

For
It is in trusting
that I am alive to the utmost,
It is in loving
that I am most fulfilled,
It is in hoping
that I live to see a better day.

Rev. John Winn, For All Seasons (2011)
