<b>adoration</b><br />
Harvey S. Mozolak<br />
<br />
dark hued clothing<br />
of the poor or chosen poverty <br />
wrapped close<br />
compact cocoon <br />
hands hidden <br />
undoubtably faithfully laced<br />
neck bowed<br />
face bent to the floor<br />
eyes closed<br />
cinctured by silent lashes<br />
though one cannot tell that<br />
but if they see<br />
it is stone and earth and dust<br />
insect-sized<br />
knees together<br />
bent like a crushed locust<br />
whose spring must be souled<br />
for its feet are flatted <br />
arches overturned<br />
the motionless body <br />
an inverted chancel<br />
belly and back<br />
as low as can go<br />
to creep begging eleison<br />
wormlike<br />
kyrie before the altar<br />
icon-ed in golden glow<br />
illuminated by sand-buried tapers<br />
among a score of tourists <br />
snapping memories saved<br />
on cell phones<br />
like prayers during takeoff <br />
for safe trips home<br />
to lesser heavens<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>saint’s repose</b><br />
Harvey S. Mozolak<br />
<br />
he is to the side<br />
of the altar where The Presence<br />
is lifted in holiness<br />
to be spooned to waiting lips<br />
whispering Amens<br />
many most go first <br />
to the sepulchered side<br />
where the bones of the saint reside<br />
someone a cleric who saved the city<br />
or some such thing<br />
and there they light candles<br />
and kiss the box that bears<br />
his sacred remains<br />
a woman enters with a priest<br />
after making an offering <br />
is one disparaging thought<br />
but perhaps a parish member<br />
who frequents this hour of prayer<br />
where the Father unlocks the case for her<br />
beneath are trays of medals<br />
tiny icons<br />
small sacred gifts<br />
and tangles of piled prayer beads <br />
awaiting answers<br />
in repeated petitions<br />
for less than a city-full of need<br />
he then unfolds layers of brocade cloth<br />
to reveal a place where the woman<br />
can kiss and then several other places <br />
for her lips as the coffin is closed<br />
locked and then the line is freed<br />
to again enter and see the darkened<br />
alcove of death awaiting eternity<br />
to the side <br />
of the one who empowers<br />
lesser hopes<br />
and kisses us with bread’s given body<br />
and the sweet wine of his blood shed<br />
in the darkness of our need<br />
the only flame that burns<br />
beyond repose</span></div>

Harvey S. Mozolak<br />
<br />
kings are in charge<br />
and the charges were<br />
that he was no monarch<br />
and in fact it was claimed<br />
a usurper to the king<br />
an undoer of the royalty of state<br />
threat to the loyalty of priestly heights<br />
attained by repeated sacrifice<br />
and so he was given <br />
a purple robe of forced guffaws<br />
diademed with dripping bloodied barbs<br />
driven to a throne that commanded <br />
his breath to slowly cease<br />
his trunk and limbs to limp and slump<br />
become a stump of God<br />
of thirty-three yet one eternal ring<br />
there sceptered<br />
with a spear axed to his heart<br />
thus heaven charged<br />
deep into all earth’s rebellions<br />
the whole seditious lot<br />
dying with him<br />
to be free<br />
and crowned sons and daughters<br />
of the sole sovereign whose love <br />
can never be drained<br />
of its charge<br />
and saving pole</span></div>

and flush it down the drain <br />

we wear alike the condemnation <br />
his, an unjust sentence <br />
ours, the deserving of our deeds <br />

censure me with your innocence <br />

<b>the mighty loss and gain</b><br />
Harvey S. Mozolak<br />
<br />
a widowhood thrown over<br />
the veil<br />
a great city sadness<br />
stepping stones stumbling<br />
across the acropolis<br />
of war-mounted<br />
Jerusalem<br />
rocks strewn like abandoned play toys<br />
in the fit of an angry child<br />
or goods fallen from a cart <br />
overturned in the marketplace<br />
crushed by a charging chariot<br />
into puddles of laundry<br />
bath and toilet sewage<br />
the smell<br />
the stench <br />
the only holding of them together<br />
<br />
rich and royal <br />
rectangular levels askew<br />
a consideration askance<br />
to eyes leveled by tears<br />
and throats clutched by bubbles<br />
of grief and fear<br />
and hunger for table and Temple<br />
<br />
one stone not upon another stone<br />
memory caught like clothing<br />
ripped on a nail…<br />
unsealing death’s destruction<br />
and setting the cornerstone <br />
of a holy and civic vision<br />
of the grave unstopped<br />
peace unearthed<br />
the resurrection army of angels<br />
un-mortar mortality<br />
and clay begins to live<br />
and society with God<br />
embodied in new mounted praise<br />

Harvey S. Mozolak<br />

when they came <br />
to the place <br />
that is called The Skull <br />
a cranium of empty earth <br />
thoughtless lump <br />
lifted against the sky <br />
cortical high hemisphere <br />
drained of blood and life <br />
<br />
they crucified Jesus <br />
nervously nailing <br />
spine to stem <br />
as emotionlessly <br />
as hammer kisses to a nail <br />
head <br />
above the crowd's scoffing curses <br />
and soldiers' mocking <br />
criminals, one on his right <br />
and one on his left <br />
forgive them, Father <br />
they cannot understand <br />
what they stand under <br />
in condemnation and release <br />
clothing now a game of gamble <br />
for the covering <br />
and winning of others <br />
<br />
King of the Jews <br />
the toast <br />
with wasted wine <br />
one crucified <br />
who almost can no longer steal <br />
any time at all <br />
rides him rudely <br />
the other giving back his last breaths <br />
as rebuke to the remonstrance <br />
and to request remembrance <br />
is under the same condemnation <br />
as God <br />
but without innocence <br />
do kings recall slaves who have begged? <br />
servants who have bowed <br />
and subjects who humbly pray? <br />

echoing the clatter of empty closet hangers</span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
and dust-owned floors</span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
as the house is emptied </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
for movement to the mansion</span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
where servants at meal </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
sit with the master</span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
unwrapping gifts stolen from death</span></span></div>

Harvey S. Mozolak</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
dropped between the sands </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
a small stone </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
fallen from the ring of those who loved </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
so deeply </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
they encircled the stars and sea </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
in their hope for forever </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
the diamond loosened in a crushing wave </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
her hand releasing his </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
for moment </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
to swim alone and right herself </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
the gem slipped unseen </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
into the water </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
clear as its clarity </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
slowly rolling ashore </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
with the broken </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
shorn of shape and worn </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
where she having noticed </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
its brightness gone </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
its edge of remembrance </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
no longer felt against her flesh </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
now searches frantically with a flashlight </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
in the darkening hour </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
somewhere near where they wore </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
the sun as clothing </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
as good as dead the trust </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
that she will find it </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
amid the countless sands </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
and numberless night eyes of the sky </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
the moon glints on a single facet </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
or was it one of the stars' glances? </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
a single hard crystal </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
among the many white and brown </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
grey opaque </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
and broken hulls of the hidden </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
when they marry she wears a gold shell </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
about her neck </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
a piece of common sand </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
from that beach </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
glued in its center </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
and her fingers turn the ring prayerfully </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
after the birth of their first child </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
accounting beyond translucent life </span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">
of harder unseen wealth</span></span></div>

Have you noticed that from morning soft news shows to local noon TV and even through public service and plain old sales promotional advertisements there is an attempt during this month to highlight, underline and “stir up” interest in using the December weeks to strengthen relationships, family ties and the doing of positive social things. Find a way to give more, to feel and share peace and joy and understanding. In fact, it is a yearning for Advent amid the pre-Hollydaze-ing muzak noise and over-bright light displays. A search for family and friendship of God amid war and anger, <i>hybris, </i>hunger and hatred. A search, sadly that will not find until we are found in the infant-small— God’s greatness in the December weak. </div>

The message “some assembly required” comes on many of the boxes gift wrapped for all ages. The manger is in a simple sense a box for God. Certainly the blessed Virgin’s womb earlier was perhaps a warmer and friendlier wrap, that is, if the infant had been only human… but the packaging of God, the wrapping of glory with the tangles of time’s ribbons crammed into all the containing surfaces and corners of space, no matter where, must not have been comfortable for the God-man, Jesus the Christ. Nevertheless he comes because some disassembly is required. The God who created all things in perfection and peace and who watched all things be refit together for the human will and desire and not God’s intents and plans must now disassemble evil’s contortions, sin’s turns away and the change into the <span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;"><i>curvatus in se</i></span> that the human heart finds acceptable and good. The reassembly of the God and human relationship begins anew in the feed box at Bethlehem. Sadly we use the tools of ropes, nails and hammer and he only his love, an open gift for us. </div>

Ever since I saw Ben Long’s fresco in the Roman Catholic church in downtown Charlotte, NC a few years back I have been interested this artist’s religious works. The fresco which covered a whole large chancel wall which spanned from one side of the church to the other— is no more, fallen from the wall, thanks to some demolition at a nearby construction site. But other smaller, earlier frescos adorn the chancel areas of several Episcopal parishes north of Boone, NC. The Last Supper fresco is well worth seeing at one of them but during Advent his two smaller frescos depicting St. John the Baptizer and St. Mary mounted on either side of a rural chancel come to mind. I had opportunity to see them in person this fall. John is portrayed in a full sense of a wild prophet. The blessed Mother of God is depicted in full pregnancy, about as round as possible. Some might say, “She is really showing.” It is after all Advent. Much demolition is going on and many murals of the faith have fallen. His comings— then, now in Word and Sacrament and again in the fullness of the <i>eschaton</i>— should be as evident in us and in our lives to encourage some to comment on our living portraits, “You are really showing… showing forth the Messiah, the Jesus, the Lord of the Universe.”</div>

The newborn in California was an abandoned baby girl found in the debris of asphalt and rubble near a river on a bike path. Read as a news headline, online: “Newborn in stable condition after being <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">found</span> 'buried alive' in Los Angeles” In the context of a day in Advent reading, it first sounded like, “Newborn in stable… condition after being found buried alive….” Drop the Los Angeles for a hillside full of Angeles and you have the incarnation at Bethlehem. Christ the Son of God buried in a girl’s womb in the whereabouts of barn animals and the vast multitude of earth’s sinners. </div>

The catalog of religious items for Christmas, features— with free shipping (although Mary must have noticed the weight during the nine months, a rather long Advent wearing blue as she traditionally does!)— a “Vintage Nativity.” Vintage has the meaning of something to do with grapes or wine (or maybe in this context, blood?) and also something to do with the period in which something (or someone) was made or begun (or again in the context of Advent, the only begotten conceived of the Virgin spring by the wind of the Holy Spirit). Anyway, is this too much symbolism? But the ad for the nativity notes the it is a wire construction and brings to mind the wire that often surrounds securing the cork in a bottle of wine. (sorry for the symbol stuff again) Then again the ad says that it can be easily molded back into shape if becomes distorted in storage. Ahh… it just begs, does not the words of the ad in the Word of the season, for talk about the distortion of sin and how the one stored in the womb comes in the manger to mold us back into the shape of the sacred. So far the distortion of the ad reading. What do you think, do you buy into more than symbolism and the wire held nature of the season?</div>

The cover photo on the ELCA’s December edition of “The Lutheran” magazine is a nativity by He Qi, a Chinese artist who along with Japanese print artist Sadao Watanabe are personal favorites. The vibrant pink-clothed blessed Virgin holds the infant Lord on her lap under the watchful eyes of dimly lit purple animals, Joseph and perhaps a shepherd holding a lantern. The swoop of an angel curved above is also more muted than the Madonna and child. While the piece is all is done in more Oriental motifs than the usual Western paintings normally traditional on Christmas cards and postal stamps one thing is out of place for any traditional, realistic nativity scene. (Although this year’s US “religious” stamp is several years old because one might assume they haven’t sold out of it and exhausted supplies in a couple of years. Does that say something about the phasing in of electronic greetings or the phasing out of religiosity in our greetings… at least on our envelopes?) Here’s the thing that is noteworthy: the baby holds in his tiny hand a bright, round, red apple. Hardly soft infant fare. He is bringing it back for the tree. Obediently he will replace himself, as fruit for the forbidden bitten, on its branches, bright, red juice of his veins running down its cut grooves and trunk. </div>

The Thanksgiving holiday is in the main a civic and secular tradition and yet many Christians gather that day or during that week to give thanks under the name of the holy and blessed name of the Trinity. It is interesting to compare and contrast ordinary Thanksgiving with the extraordinary Eucharist. There are obvious similarities beyond the definition of the Greek word. People are urged in the civic sense to look and give thanks both for the common and ordinary as well as the special and unexpected. In the church’s Eucharist the ordinary of bread and wine are consecrated and are for the communicant the true body and blood of the God-man, Jesus Christ, gracing the recipient with extraordinary forgiveness, life and salvation. </div>

Think of all that is invested in the candle lit, linen draped, Thanksgiving turkey-stuffing- cranberry-sweet potato-pumpkin pie with whipped cream topped table. Do the Faithful find a kind of sacred soul-salivating hunger for the simple wine and often wafer-thin bread of the Mass that dismisses them with unseen forgiveness to share seen and rich peace? </div>

Christmas is a time for friends and family to make trips by car, plane, train and bus to see family and friends. The very first of these late Advent journeys was made by Mary to see her relative Elizabeth in the hill country. This is perhaps the first of a number of trips Jesus makes up a hill or mountain and, of course, his earthly life will apex on one three decades later.</div>

Liturgically, the celebration of this event is called The Visitation although it does ask the question as to who is doing the visiting. Is Mary going to see her cousin and Zechariah or is it Jesus already beginning to visit more of this world.</div>

The Gospels share much more about Jesus earthly ministry of some three years than it does of these early days of infancy and youth. Are these early days of the new church year, Year of St. Luke, times for bearing Christ to others in the world, both those in low and high places? Luther’s used an expression, <i>was Christus trieben to say </i>that the Scriptures and we with their message bear, carry, drive home, inculcate Christ. In the latter days of December doings people will worry whether the mail or electronic messages will bring the last minute cards, greetings and invitations to their addressees, packages safely to doorsteps, the steps of family and friends home, gifts of food and surprise to neighbors and children’s eyes… but who will bear the good news of great joy that magnifies the Lord? Who will share the rejoicing in the saving God, the blessed great things done for us, the holiness of the name of Jesus, the hunger filled, the proud and powerful fallen and the lowly lifted up? </div>

One of the routines that many use, who can afford it and the regular, routine washing of clothing in general, is the use of a pre-wash. </div>

And here the <i>lavabo</i> before Christ is chaliced, a loaf in the manger, is John and his baptism of repentance. First the “shout out” (sounds like the name of one of the spray containers we keep next to the washing machine) to filthy sinners, “Repent!” “Repent the straightener, the flattener, the leveler is at hand.”</div>

Advent in most parts of the world gets gunked up, frosted with sugared lights, dripping decorations and oozing ornamentation. What if it was a time when the wilderness of the world was allowed to be seen… unfruitful trees growing up everywhere not as yard shrubs or limbs for strings of lights but like after a storm, fallen on roads, branches breaking windows and trunks opening roofs. In childhood tales and stories, the woods are where the wolves, lions, snakes and boars roam and hunt.</div>

<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;">
The one who follows John is opening a path, clearing the threshing, lighting an unquenchable fire. This is a season in which God washes the world for the coming of his Son who will need a virgin mother’s lips on her fingers to clean the milk from his which will soon speak peace, a time for the coming of The One who will need linens for the soil of his humanity, who will require Joseph's calloused hands to support his first steps toward, in the fearful forest, one particular tree of our wrath and his good love.</div>

A good saying, <i>bene-dictus</i>, blessed Adventide! Merry Four Fir-circled Weeks! It doesn’t get said much. No cards to carry Zeck’s waiting silent face or Elizabeth’s bulging joy. No one arranges a small model first century Temple with a tiny plastic priest holding a match-tip size bit of incense to burn. “He spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old that we would be saved….” But of course, now the greeting is not seasonal holiday sounds but the mute wait of one whose child will be the last of the old prophets and the first of the new forth-tellers. When the priest took in hand to write, to the witnesses’ astonishment, Zechariah perhaps inscribed the very first words—“His name is John”— of the New Testament canon.</div>

Go before the Child, children, and say the good as in God the Most High and evangel-news and tender mercy and forgiveness. Nights seem more powerful in the northern days of December, lengthening to their limit and allowing seasonal displays to feature our creativity in the face of our fear of mortality. But each day is a dawn of God breaking upon us, guiding our feet into the way of peace. Burn the incense, write, speak…</div>

“There will be signs….” And the signs are, “in the sun, moon and stars and on earth distress….” Symptoms of distress, Luke the physician might conclude include, boils, fever, rash, seeping blood, belly pain, vomit, glazed eyes and confusion of speech. Clues like the investigators find looking at the trail of human fluids, gun splatter, broken glass and overturned rooms. It is not difficult to know that something is wrong, even in the best of times. Help is needed, ears perk up to hear the sirens and flashing lights of rescue. But look also at the trees that in some parts of the earth are barren and in more southern climates are budding and putting forth green. God’s life is near not only as God always is, creating, in charge, willing and molding his way in power but also in the bulging belly of a young woman’s body swelling magnificently with God’s mercy. Signs: caution, stop, yield, go on guard with lifted, enlightened hearts filled with the divine, “words which will not pass away.” Pray now before the sign, four small pillars of light as posts about the straw bed upon which the fire of God’s incarnate forgiveness will descend. </div>

People speak of “heart healthy diets.” The divine love that increases and abounds in the Sacraments strengthens our hearts in holiness with Christ’s blamelessness in his coming. “Therefore with angels, archangels and all the company of the hosts and saints…,” we thank God for the joy of these days together in the church. </div>

Pausing before either an empty creche or the boxed manger figures among the opened packages of wrapped ornaments and tangled, colored lights: Signs sometimes stand in the depth of what they indicate. “Deep water” may warn at drowning depth. “High Voltage” can hang on the pole draped with such power. The hay, a sign, will move and shift at the turning of time-bound eternity swaddled in humble obedience, commanding evil to stand still and fall in defeat. </div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;">
Revelation 1.6 says that the loving washing in Christ “the faithful witness and firstborn from the dead who is ruler over the kings of the earth has made us kings and priests to his God and Father. “ When faced with terrorism, even those with secret intelligence and advanced weaponry do not feel like they are in-charge kings. When faced with cancer, few feel like they are kings much less healthy priests. They feel trampled and trodden down, inescapably cornered by danger, disease and death. But the promise is strong and true, the reality is that the Lord Jesus is <i>Rex</i> of all realms. If the blood has covered, we are priests. If the washing of his death has passed over us we are kings before Christ’s Father and our God. Of course that first of all means that we also are under his rule since he is ruler of all the kings of the earth whether monarchs presumed by their own wealth and armies or whether potentates through the power of Christ’s cross-bound weakness. The truth is, as Jesus told Pilate, “the kingdom of God is not from here,” but here it comes in the birth, life and death of the witness to the Father, Jesus, King of the Jews and and of all beyond— in belief. (John 18. 33-37)</div>
