"For us let it be enough to know ourselves to be in the place where God wants us, and carry on our work, even though it be no more than the work of an ant, infinitesimally small, and with unforeseeable results."
-- Abbé Monchanin

A Poem for Christmas


For God So Loved The World

For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son . . . 
How, then, can I sow hatred?

 For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son . . .
Whom, then, can I not love?

 For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son . . .
What, then, can I withhold?

 For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son . . .
Where, then, is His love not found?

 For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son . . .
When, then, will we understand?

 For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son . . .
Why, then, do we not care?
