THE ANOINTING - Edwina Gately
from Psalms of A Laywoman
There were no crowds at my ordination, the church was cold and bare
There was no bishop to bless and consecrate, no organ music filled the air.
No solemn procession went before me, no cross nor incense smell,
There were no songs nor incantions, no pealing triumphant bell,
But I heard the children laughing in the stench of the city slums,
And I heard the people sobbing at the roaring of the guns
And the stones cried out before me as the sirens wailed and roared and the blood of women and children in the arid earth was poured.
There were no crowds at my ordination, and the church was cold and bare
But the cries of the people gathered and the songs of the birds filled the air.
The wind blew cold before me, the mountains rose and split,
The earth it shuddered and trembled, and a flame eternal was lit.
There were no crowds at my ordination, the church was cold and bare,
But the spirit breathed oh so gently in the free and open air.
She slipped through the walls and the barriers and from the stones and the earth she proclaimed,
Oh see my blind, blind people, see woman whom I have ordained!
