God makes of all<\/i> things mysteries and sacraments of love, why should not every moment of our lives be a sort of communion with the divine love?<\/p>\n
Jean Pierre de Caussade<\/i><\/p>\n
The Lord is my Pace-setter, I shall not rush.<\/p>\n
He makes me stop and rest for quiet intervals,<\/p>\n
He provides me with images of stillness, which restore my serenity.<\/p>\n
He leads me in ways of efficiency, through calmness of mind,<\/p>\n
And His guidance is peace.<\/p>\n
Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day<\/p>\n
I will not fret, for His presence is here,<\/p>\n
His timelessness, His all-importance will keep me in balance.<\/p>\n
He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity<\/p>\n
By anointing my mind with His oils of tranquillity;<\/p>\n
My cup of joyous energy overflows.<\/p>\n
Surely harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruits of my hours,<\/p>\n
For I shall walk at the pace of my Lord, and dwell in His house for ever.<\/p>\n
Variation on the theme of the twenty-third Psalm by a Japanese student, Toki Miyashina<\/i><\/p>\n
What hell may be, I know not. This I know,<\/p>\n
I cannot lose the presence of the Lord.<\/p>\n
One arm, Humility, takes hold upon<\/p>\n
His dear humanity; the other, Love,<\/p>\n
Clasps His divinity. So where I go<\/p>\n
He goes; and better fire-walled hell with Him<\/p>\n
Than golden-gated Paradise without.<\/p>\n
(Unknown friend of Tauler)<\/p>\n
Said Tauler,<\/p>\n
My prayer is answered. God hath sent the man,<\/p>\n
Long sought, to teach me, by his simple trust,<\/p>\n
Wisdom the weary Schoolmen never knew.<\/p>\n
