THE ALTAR
The altar will always be
associated with a special place, and properly
so, - a place where one touches the Mysteries of God, a place where one
meets God Himself, a place where man calls upon God, where man,
conscious of his own weakness as well as God's Power, Goodness and
Love, with eyes turned to heaven gives thanks, apologizes, and
begs... Before this altar, dressed in priestly stole and alb,
besides my faithful and friendly dog, surrounded by other animals and
friendly people... I, whether on a patch of green meadow, on
a dirt trail or asphalt pathway, will pray, bless, shepherd, thank,
forgive, beg.
