A Prayer in Adoration

 

 

Here I am Lord,

Sitting, kneeling,

Prostrate in spirit

Before You, adoring.

Who You are in Your glory

Lies hidden under the appearance

Of this Holy Bread before me.

 

You have revealed to Your Church

The wonder, and magnificence

Of Your living Presence.

With Mother Church,

I extol Your beauty.

Truths come to mind

And I give assent.

I am married to You,

O Holy Bridegroom.

In the fullness of time,

I will embrace You

With a glorified vision and body,

But, for now, I reach with heart

And mind's eye to catch a glimpse

Of this splendid Truth

Hidden as it is 'neathe Bread and Wine

And broken Body on a Cross.

 

Favor me with an increase

Of love and desire,

Until my longing tears free

From all that holds me captive still.

I know my blindness

And have seen my foolishness.

In my poverty and need,

I seek refuge here

Before Your eyes.

 

Your Truth, Your splendid Truth, be mine!

These are such glorious Truths,

I can not comprehend them

In their reality and breath.

I can only glimpse them

And cry out in hope and faith.

 

My adorable Lord,

Looking upon me now as always,

Gather to Yourself,

The groans and sighs of Spirit born,

Unto Your memories

As so many Communions

And Resurrections of spirit,

As chains of Love in Time,

But always

Only One Adorable Lord.
