Separation God

(Posted 7/15)

Why, God, is there this separation here?
Why are we so apart to take this test?
Would it not help me pass if You were near?
Without Your presence, I can’t do my best.

Down here we need to see and hear and sense,
You’re near I know but seem so far above,
we rational creatures here need evidence.
Can’t we see You, not just Your signs of love?

Your universe, Your children’s eyes I see,
Why can’t I catch just one glimpse of Your face?
I need to sense You, Lord, more spiritually
with Sacraments and Eucharist and grace.

“If you see Me, you see the Father too,”
in Word, my soul, and others I see You.
