***
the Blessed Sacrament - precious are the moments spent kneeling before you.
witness the brokenness and the hunger for your healing,
you have never backed down, you never left without giving comfort and peace.
glories and titles are stripped away, before you and before the cross of Christ, all men stand equal and beloved.
in that essential starkness, you come to reveal truth and in so doing, bring each man greater understanding of who they are and what they must do to serve the Lord. there are always so many voices, but beyond the one who created man and gave him life, there is no other.
***
'Do you believe in God?"
and by extension 'Do you believe in God's plan for you?'
then you know what you must do. and do it. 'Do or do not. there is no 'try'.'
free falling, terminal velocity,
who knows whether the abyss is there?
or whether, upon falling, hitting rock bottom,
...
you touch the ground.
