Dealing with rough issues

by | Jan 11, 2018 | Personal thoughts

I went for a week of silence to the monastery where we will have the Basic Course (13-14 January). It was not so easy. Great doubts about who I am and my future plagued me. Then I was part of a group of 8 ordained ministers, praying together. A beautiful way to guide these prayers was given through a copy of a 100-year-old prayer from Pope LeoXIII. How to resist Satan, how to set people free of demonic powers and how to bless. A dark load that had tried to envelop me was gone. Coming home I wrote this poem.

WORDS, words, words,

Old words

Time tested

Power blessed

Echoing through

many generations

Inspired words

of God Himself

His Authority

reaffirmed

shared with us

Mary´s only words

Yes, here I am

Then years

of nothing

but His smile

My wordless battle

Empty hands

beseeching

doubting

darkness

Living Words

with a Smile:

“I love you”

drowns out

empty noises

Stam-me-ring words

Bowing

My-Lord-and-my-God.

I-love-you-too,

Hallelujah
