Yours and Mine

Sometimes, Jesus gently raps on the door, begging to enter a heart, and sometimes, He simply knocks the door down, shows His wounds, points to the trembling inhabitant and says, “Mine.”" - fr. Emmanuel, O. Praem.

Mi Jesu.
His Holy presence – overwhelming and still.
Anything He says or do, I do and I say.
Unworthy as I am,
He need only one word, “come.”
I am but a mere sheep,
Pressed closely against the heart of One who Is
…Love.

In his arms,
I am home.

Yes, I am but a man
Ready and willing..
But still a man.
And I stand before the edge of the boat,
And I wait before the edge of the boat,
Yet, I hear nothing.
Is what I’m hearing,
What He is saying?

He turns to me
And with one slight glance, I hear his voice.
Before His gaze, all that I am, is stripped away.

I know His voice
His voice.. not from his mouth.
The voice that echoes heaven.

The voice that speaks without ever making a sound.
The voice of eternal bliss and ecstasy.
The voice of God the Father.

He says but three words…
And with three words, he allowed a poor soul like me
to experience divinity.

“I am Yours”
