Great Litany

Tradition often means the first Sunday in Lent includes the Great Litany chanted in a pretzely procession around the church. This Sunday the labyrinth is also available at church.  We may walk around the block... later.

This year
The Great Litany coincided
With Valentine’s Day.
We decided to forgo
The Litany,
Stay home.
Sleep in.
Drink coffee.
The labyrinth,
Its pretzely path
Is also available
At church.
We may walk around the block
Hold hands.

Sloth

Rationalization. Amazing.

I know many
For whom
Lent does not really begin
Without the Great Litany
Chanted in procession.
Today we forewent
The probable Great Litany.
The Christmas tree
Is halfway down.
Ornaments await boxing.
My coffee cup is again
A singing bowl.
The cat is once again
Asleep.
I wonder if today
The signature sin
Is sloth.
Still
Today is Sunday
Not a real part of Lent.
Yes
Sloth it is.
