For the ordination of Marisa McNeil
Join in the Dance
Irreg.
The call of God
The frightened “No!”
The path of doubt
The grace to grow
This is the flow of ministry.
Join in the dance!
The fish and loaves
Five thousand fed.
More manna still
in wine and bread
This is the food of ministry.
Join in the feast!
Prophetic zeal
and priestly prayer
Proclaiming hope
unceasing care
This is the task of ministry.
Join in the work!
The day has come
to praise and bless
The weight of hands
The Spirit’s “Yes!”
This is the joy of ministry.
Thanks be to God!
