Afflict the Afflicted

Hosanna ("save now!")
 
Born again, again and again and
it’s a pain in the ass:  how  much
resurrection to  get-R-done?
 
A communion of saints watch over
and over as it were: heavenly hosts
with approving & disapproving eye.
 
My Nana.  astonished,  estimating me
and my brother wrestling on the living
room floor would catch her breath
 
         O my my! O my!
  
     The violent bear it away 

Afflict the afflicted!
The comfortable are comfortable
Fortified: might as well throw rice
 at rhinos.
 
Justification is granted to all who
have faith, but even that is viewed
as a  gift from God by Lutherans
and Calvinists, who use Eph 2:8,
as well as Acts 16:14 and Phil 1:29
to support that belief.            (Wiki)

But never the less: there appears a
deep and abysmal chasm dividing &
separating Lutherans and Calvinists.

Still: each spring Lutherans & First
Church of Calvin meet on the soft
ball field to battle out ancient rivalry
for bragging rights--securing the
trophy for 12 months.

Hot dogs & of course Lutheran beer
served after the game and  a good
time had by all— or mostly all.
