Thank you, Frank.

Like Sunday homilies, sometimes the best poetry is that of the moment.

You have given us a prayer of acknowledgment.

You have given us a prayer of recognition.

You have given us a prayer of hope.

This is exactly why you are so special to so many of us.

Thanks Marty. Always good to hear from you. I definitely want to offer hope where I can. It's a time when we need to exercise the hope muscle.

You were certainly in my heart when I wrote the poem Prayer After the Fire.

Frank, this poem says what many of us here in L A are thinking. It conveys what our friends are

experiencing and how this tragedy is life-changing.

Thank you Frank for this Holy Poetry on the gospel of Luke. Impressive how you used words to translate this gospel into humans sufferings of today and asking the Anointed One to bless them and to have mercy!
