A poem based on what transpired spiritually to a wretched soul
during the Day of Adoration at the Mary Help of Christians College Seminary
on the Memorial of St. Jean-Marie Vianney
by roar
Rays shining
forth from within
Sparkles of
gold glittering and blinding
On knees
bended and palms together
Stuck in
amazement at the presence of the Other
Whose mercy
is extraordinary and love incredible
Joyful tears
released like happy rain
But sobbing
and moaning and unrelenting
“Depart from me Lord for I am sinful”
So great a
gap between You and a fool
But Your
mercy is extraordinary and love incredible
Attentive
ears of that purple stole
And graceful
words synched with a wretched soul
Persistently
latent from my vision
You manifest You surely in compassion
For your
mercy is extraordinary and love incredible
