The Gospel According to the Letter S

 based on the resurrection from Luke's Gospel


Seeing sunrise, the Society of Marys, slipped silently with special savory salve to sanctify their Shepherd's shell in the sacred steppe.

Surprised - the Society stopped, shocked! The sepulcher's security stone sat sideways, standing spearate.

The Society, seeking their Shepherd, searched the surrounding space.  Seated in the shady sepulcher, simple seraphs spoke, summoning the Society.  The seraphs shared the serious story of the Saviour --- Son of God; stressing the Saviour's sayings, stories, signs, and satisfying shortages.  Their speech's summit: the sabotaged Shepherd succumbed, sanctioned by sanctuary shaman, society sorts, and stately senators; savagely scourged, scorned, shamed, scarred, and slaughtered!

Silenced, suspended in space, then SHA-WHAM-- swiftly sprouting, the Shepherd stood, shifting to Saviour.

Spurred, the Society's stretched senses, seized the spectacular scoop.  Stirred, they sprinted to spread the sensational story.

The Shepherd's students, skeptical of the scintillating saga spoken, speculated the Society was scammed - the story a sham.

Spunky Peter swiftly scampered to the sepulchre. Seeking substantiation, searched the sepulchre, sightig swaddling strips and stark space. Significantly strengthened at the sight peter stated, "the Shepherd survives, Saviour!  Splendid!
