"The Incarnation"

Winter Dusk Trees near Lowell AR

The Incarnation

There is this One,who knows all mysteries
And who embraced them from Eternity
And this same One...,the Father's Word He is...
Splendor, that Word,of his Divinity.
See that One come with Love's excess
With Charity so urgent! Say:
"Son of The Father's tenderness
God gives us Him on this great day!"
O Word may-lifelong now-
I listen to You! so
Possessed by You,that how
To love be all I know

"Amo Christum"

In me, a house that God is living at,
This Jesus Christ, Divine Adorer there,
Takes me to the souls, as to The Father: that
Being the double movement of his prayer
My Saviour My Master, here
Whose call to me still drives me on
For this I ought to disapere
I lost inHim, with Him as One
One Word of Life with You
For always and above
Your virgin host anew
All shining forth with love

Amo Chirstum

His Sanctuary, I! He rests in me!
There is this peace one looks for and attains:
In silence and in deepest mystery
He's captured me: for ever I'm in chains
Ah, to Your ev'ry word to cling
Calm in the faith I'm anchored to:
Adoring You, through everything
As one who only lives by You!
Beneath Your splendent Light
O Word, by night and Day
May I be now- outright-
To Your great love, a prey

Amo Christum

Mother of God, tell me your mystery
Of how your earthly life was spent:the way
Right from the time of 'Fiat'- how you'd be
Buried in adoration, Mary! say
How- in a peace, a silence-you
(what mystery!) could enter in
To Deeps that none but you could do
Bearing the gift of God within
Secure in God's embrace
Keep me, I ask. In me
His imprint may he place
For wholly Love is he.

'Amo Christum'
