For those who observe "holy week" in the various Christian traditions,
a short meditation on the legendary "mother pelican" symbol ....
Adoro te supplex, latens deitas
O thou our reminder
of Christ crucified,
Living Bread the life
of us for whom he died,
Lend this life to me then:
feed and feast my mind,
There be thou the sweetness
man was meant to find.
Bring the tender tale
true of the Pelican;
Bathe me, Jesus Lord,
in what thy bosom ran –
Blood that but one drop of
has the worth to win
All the world forgiveness
of its world of sin.
St. Thomas Aquinas, 13th century,
tr. Gerard Hopkins, 19th century.
