This longing, this emptiness, what is it Lord? Can it be filled by You? Can this history be modified so that a love with You becomes so much more real than it seems now?

Lord, in my desires and my loneliness, I know that it is You that I want, ultimately. Can I find real fullness of heart, now or is this the cross I need bear?

Forgive me Lord, any despondency that may exist. Why, heart, do you weep? Know that He came to dwell with us and share all of our pains, even onto death. What more hope can be sought? Why should simple secular worries compromise us?

Fill me with Eternal Joy! For what more could one ask? My heart rouses from earthly mumbles and turns toward the Light and wherein warmth is born again. All that is, is His; all that will be, too.

May I be crushed in human spirit and arise as a new son, reborn in Christ.
