When you find yourself before the day, a day
darkened by crisis
your road blocked by obstacles, slippery and forbidding
…blinding and obstructing
the path of faith
will lead us to the fair and feast
of supreme joy
that God prepares for us.
Be confident
No need for despair
Believe in His cross of wood
Even if sleepless night blight your path
Even if ferocious dogs bark loud
And cold freezes your soul
And warm bitter tears of despair
prepare to unleash with the force of a tsunami
and anguish inundates and threatens to wash you away
Even if the terrors of the night seek to drown you
as they frighten your dreams soaking them in clammy sweat
even if the world threatens to fall apart
and suck you in and under
be confident child of faith
stand up, child
say No, and kick back the incipient despair
re-conceive your savior
your king, his laws, so simple
faith, hope and charity
be strong and steadfast and believe
be steadfast and re-launch yourself
upright on his path
your eyes fixed on heavenly things
contemplate his light that illuminates
in the rays of the sun
His reassuring caress in the soft smile of the moon
the shining stars his priceless pearls
Behold His glory, drink from the endless bounty of the joy
He freely bestows, without limits, across and beyond borders,
Without equal
on this day born of faith
this joyous day of Easter and for always
