This is for SoCS, and the word today is container. I wrote a cherita pretty much as quickly as possible. 😅Â
I think about the containers we keep food in:
Glass or plastic bowls, tin or aluminum cans —
I think about the container for baby Jesus
A manger, a feeding trough, for Him
From the beginning the Bread of Life,
So that we can contain the divine.

Another name for Mary is the “Ark of the Covenant.” And when you think about it, she was.

That’s a familiar name. Mary read a few of his books, and I think I read a book about Catholic apologetics by him.
