Montserrat

[10-30-2022]

On these sacred grounds
In this sacred space
Trodden by a thousand pilgrims before me
And thousands yet to come

Seeking, searching, discerning, discovering
Learning to find Your holy will
Thousands missioned unto great works
from this springboard of grace

Graced encounters, graced rebirths
Our bodies rested, our minds refreshed
Tutored, nurtured, nourished in this sacred nursery for souls

We bloom, afire with Your love
New paths emerge
Old paths rediscovered
Reminded that in Your palms, the lost episodes of our lives are restored,
that our stories of pain, touched by Your mercy, are transformed into pearls of grace

That in finding You, O Lord, we find ourselves.

Pascal
