God’s Word

We search for reason for it all
     So our own lives make sense,
And then is born in cattle stall
     God’s Word, with no pretense.

Comes Israel’s history to the fore
     When Mary speaks her “yes”—
The sum of all that’s gone before:
     The answer to our quest.

Philosophers and poets come
     To sit at Mary’s feet;
With shepherds kneel, and all become
     The ones who wisdom seek—

For Mary and her Son present
     God’s wisdom from above:
His Triune truth from heaven sent—
     Descends His perfect Love.

His Holy Family mirrors Him,
     A likeness of Himself–
His perfect Love that’s always been
    Restores our human health.

When Logos enters into time,
     Reveals eternity;
At last, His reason each one finds,
     And we’re at last set free,

DECEMBER 27, FEAST OF ST. JOHN, APOSTLE AND EVANGELIST
