Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness.
Philippians 2:6-7
Kenosis
This wondrous gift, Divine Kenosis, Jesus emptying himself of His divine nature for us. No greater love, surely, Could ever be shown, Until it was - In his death On the Cross. God Therefore Exalted him, And so must we. Thanking him always, Praising his holy name, Emptying ourselves for him, By loving God with all our heart, And sharing his love with all our world.
My Pastoral Ponderings 
Nice use of form to add to the poetic significance! Praise his holy name!

Yes, I thought this passage invited a “shaped poem” – shaped like a chalice, emptied for us, or like an hourglass, with Jesus pouring his love into us.
In any case, praise his holy name, indeed!

It reminded me of my favorite poet, Dylan Thomas. He had a long poem that were shaped the same way, though I don’t think it was intentionally a chalice shape for him (though he was Catholic).
