The Mass is the answer

A poetic and photographic tribute to the Perfect Love

The Answer by Larry Peterson

Every minute somewhere

Upon this Earth

Amid chaos and pain

Shadowed by greed and pride

Perfection.

While within so many

Silent screams resonate

And fade unheard

Pain unanswered

Yet each minute

A constant Light

Always there for us to share

Somewhere—The Answer

But—choices

Perfection unbridled

That tells us why

And will let us understand

If we choose to see

this splendid Oblation

A perfect purity

This gift called The Mass

Ignored yet

Somewhere each minute

For us to share

The Answer there

The Perfect Love

But—choices.
