The Temple Dec 20 Written By Erik Bonkovsky Before the time of cords and scourges and lamentationGrant us thy peace.Before the stations of the mountain of desolation,Before the certain hour of maternal sorrow,Now at this birth season of decease,Let the Infant, the still unspeaking and unspoken Word,Grant Israel’s consolationTo one who has eighty years and no to-morrow. — T.S. Eliot, “A Song for Simeon” Luke 2:22-38Sunday, December 20, 2015 The Places of ChristmasErik Bonkovsky2015 Erik Bonkovsky
