Reflection on the Spirit of the Sacred Heart

March 16, 2012

Integration

Let these two worlds combine,

Yours and mine.

The door between us is not locked,

Just ajar.

There is no need for the mocking

or the mocked to stand afar

with wounded pride

Or angry mind,

Or to build a wall to crouch and hide,
To cry or sneer behind.

This is ours together

This nation -

No need for separation.

It is time to learn.

Let us forget the hurt,

Join hands and reach
With hearts that yearn.

Your world and mine

is small.

The past is done.

Let us stand together,

Wide and tall

And God will smile upon us

Each and all
And everyone.

For Reflection...

"For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay. (Hab.2:3)

The Apollo astronauts have seen our planets from above as one beautiful and perfect sphere where life abounds and where there are no boundaries. The vision of the heavenly city descending in the book of Revelation also sees the world as one great unity .

What one thing do you feel called to do to bring us closer to this dream of unity?
