A graceful footpath leads us to the door of
a modest chapel, lodged within the shade
of an overarching, flowering dogwood tree.
Even if we are unfamiliar with the legends
that link the dogwood to the crucifixion and
resurrection of our Lord, we cannot help but
recognize that this tree with its lavish white
blossoms is a sign of God’s sheltering grace,
and His abiding gift of love.
