The fulfillment of the ark is everyday
beckoning us to make the same ascent,
Ourselves to rise toward Christ
to make our heart a ready and acceptable
ark for the Word of God,
That we too may carry
the Bread of Life as
our daily life and sustenance,
Shepherded by the staff of healing,
which guides us to the restoration of our nature
and the cure for death.
