“To Write the Love of God Above”

For awhile now I have had this inner turmoil about the immigrantscoming to our southern border with hopes of finding a better life here in theU.S. only to find hate, guns, abuse, and separated families at the gate.

The Sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
A good Lord’s Day Worship
Lord, you gave me the energy and focus
Thank you for your Spirit’s presence as I preached
An afternoon walk cut short by rain
Yet not before seeing this beautiful Columbine
An evening with movies and my sweetheart
Now as my eyelids grow heavy
I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
A day filled with love as we walked through the Valley of the Shadows
Celebrating the faith and life of a dear, dear man
Your presence was palpable, Lord
Your grace and mercy sustained us
Praying for your continued healing touch
As my eyelids grow heavy
I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
A beautiful Sonet from Malcolm Guite about one of my favorite Disciples… ready, shoot, aim Peter ❤️❤️
The 29th of June is St. Peter’s day, when we remember the disciple who, for all his many mistakes, knew how to recover and hold on, who, for all his waverings was called by Jesus ‘the rock’, who learned the threefold lesson that every betrayal can ultimately be restored by love. It is fitting therefore that it is at Petertide that new priests and deacons are ordained, on the day they remember a man whose recovery from mistakes and openness to love can give them courage. So I post this poem not only for St. Peter but for all those being ordained this weekend and in memory of my own ordination as a priest on this day 28 years ago.
This poem comes from my collection Sounding the Seasons published by Canterbury Press. You can also buy it on Amazon Uk or US or order it in any bookshop.
