15 minutes early for Holy Mass
Our intention was prayers for Gerry
God rest his eternal soul

But
The doors were locked
We waited patiently
5 minutes
10 minutes
The doors remained locked

My husband said that
He believed
That the intention to pray the Holy Sacrifice
Would be enough
to make those moments of waiting
Holy

Jesus stood with us waiting
Very much like He waits
For each of us
To unlock the door
To our soul

So thought we never entered the church
Jesus entered us
We had opened our hearts
To His Grace
On that sunny Thursday morning

In Calumet, Michigan
The final resting place of our
friend, Gerry

In memory of Gerry Davison, the dear lifelong friend of my husband Charlie
