Where are you?



September 21st, 2021

After celebrating the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, we are called to revisit the mystery of our salvation through the eyes of St. Jacinta. May we learn, like her, to embrace our cross, to find in our sorrows the contours of God's face.



where are you?
scrutinize
in the streets of pain
the contours of the face
of God

as I wish
incarnate
this heresy of the cross

«if I could put it in everyone's heart
the fire burning inside my chest»
if I could consume myself
burning bush for the world
faint light on sacred ground
if I could crucify myself
in dramas
in today's comedies and tragedies
fragile sacrifice on the altar of the world

and the voice
pregnant with light
insisting
do you want the mystery?
do you want your whole life nailed to the cross?
do you want to know love in the extreme of giving?
you want to embody the wrinkles of pain
the contours of the face
of God?

«yes, we do»

Hail Mary
santa maria
