Incredible

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
