KITCHEN HYMNS. In the name of the bee

Mother Brendan's opening words at Ash Wednesday mass

The long-tailed tit

Eat this bread

Do you believe in God?

DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD? [My grandad came from Abbeydorney]

[My dad went fishing at the Old Head Cliffs]

[Every summer, crowds of them]

[It'll hurt he said]

[Before it became my blood]

[It used to be the hare and not the rabbit]

[At twenty-three I walked in the dark]

[He heard a voice]

[I accepted it for far too long]

[I turn to you]

[It was like arriving home from school]

[Though I've lost God]

[The last thing I did was sweep the floor]

KITCHEN HYMNS. PB2G

Confession

The long table

The last supper

Charade

IN A GARDEN BY A GATE. [hellpsalm: Why are your mercies new every morning?]

The gate to the garden

Man's search for meaning

Let there be lights in the vault of the sky

There is time for time

Who do you say I am?

On the nature of forgetting

[hellpsalm: On good days I say, look what I survived]

Being and time

[hellpsalm: I gave you my heart, but then you gave it back]

Do you believe in God?

For such a time as this

[hellpsalm: I was no fool]

The greatest of these

The school of dreams

[hellpsalm: not everything that's lost is lost]

The book of revelation

[hellpsalm: I made you into a god]

Desire and its interpretation

Teach us how to pray

Now I am going to destroy the Earth

Whosoever shall deny me, I will also deny

I saw the earth, a void; the Heavens too, Abandoned

Drink and be drunk with love

In a garden by a gate

A sword shall pierce your heart

There is a time for war

[hellpsalm: This is why I do not turn to you]

You must be born again & again

[hellpsalm: you touched my mother with death]

KITCHEN HYMNS. Kitchen hymn

[hellpsalm: The other day I saw something]

Jesus and Persephone meet after many years

Rite of baptism

The second coming
