i am a fish
of many faces
like Job
with many faces
swallowed like bait
from God
the swallowing Whale
sucking us in
with his cross-hook
drawing us
to himself
for the meal
of himself
for eternity

i am your fish
full
with many faces
full
in my sucking gut
with your hunger
for me
and for others




*Reflections of Jean Sulivan:

  -We go on trips, taking notes while passing through half-starving continents where cadavers are piled up each morning along with the garbage.  We no longer can put up with the parable of the good Samaritan.  Faith becomes impossible, nothing is what it used to be, but we go on cultivating the moral garden of the West!
   It's obvious that the Church is not catholic but Western.

  -Because of compromise, Christianity doesn't appear in its truth - a truth that is often unacceptable. It is revealed only in tension and debate, provided that it's not looking for power and prestige.

  -The true universality of the Church consists in its ability to root itself in particular situations and to rise above them, arousing the effective love which shows itself without distinction among a certain
number of men and women whose inner voice is in harmony with the Word and who appear as witnesses.
