Lord, You may not recognize me
speaking for someone else.
I have a son. He is
so little, so ignorant.
He likes to stand
at the screen door, calling
oggie, oggie, entering
language, and sometimes
a dog will stop and come up
the walk, perhaps
accidentally. May he believe
this is not an accident?
At the screen
welcoming each beast
in love's name, Your emissary.
-- Louise Glück
What a jolt of joy this gave me!

ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful one! Sometimes I think of my little brothers and wish I could give them my faith instead of "just" praying and trusting that God will give them their own.
Sweet post.
ReplyDeleteI have nominated you to meditate on your blog about your three favorite Catholic devotional prayers (or songs).

Amy in Nashville asked me to do it. I hesitated at first and then realized that it was the right thing to do this Sunday morning.

I won't be offended if you decline, but I believe your sharing of your prayerful means of being with God would be edifying.
God bless you, TQ
I'm up for it, TQ. But I won't get to it until later on tonight . . .
