The first of four short meditations: Blood, Water, Oil and Fire. Each poem provides a different reflection on Advent. Listen, read and reflect.
Blood
Unseen, a treasured flow;
yet when poured out, brings grief.
Fetal blood, grows the Prince of Peace;
amidst suffering, births our king.
‘God with us’, dawns from Mary’s womb;
dark kingdoms crumble - Christ’s blood flows.
