Jovial youth; incarnate of glory, fighting and revelry, yet magnanimous spirit
Penitent prisoner fleeing the fire of his father’s wrath and a city’s scorn
Filthy rags buried in a cave: Emerging Reborn child of God
Wed to Lady Poverty; his wife of surpassing fairness
Walking in the Light, Son drenched, dew quenched
Followers flocking to his side, eager for the shepherd to feed them
Words leaping like stags, plummeting along the mountain’s heart
Penitent sorrow dripping from the jagged rock façades
Gospel simplicity, Christ’s sacrifice revealed
The newborn lambs follow the Shepherd, leaping joyfully
