Faith and poetry …

 … James Matthew Wilson Reflects on His “Upper Room Period”  (hat tip, Dave Lull.)

He was raised Catholic but felt like he took many facets of the faith, including the liturgy, for granted. Wilson said, “I looked across that campus and I saw the great ‘panoply’ or ersatz or imitations of the liturgy. It seemed as if everybody on that campus had their god, had their ritual, had their rite and their moral doctrine or their theological doctrine. All these things looked like cheap imitations of the genuine liturgy in which we receive Christ.”
