The third of four short meditations: Blood, Water, Oil and Fire. Each poem provides a different reflection on Advent. Listen, read and reflect.

Oil 

From ancient stump, olives fruit,
Son of David messiah birthed.
Harvest pressed, virgin beauty flows;

Christ pours oil over my wounds, 
anoints my head with grace and peace,
brings new life to my cankered stump.
