the Agony in the Garden

How Can I Console You?

 “O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console…”  -St. Francis of Assisi

Sometimes

loneliness

fills my heart, where You should be.

Why can’t I feel

You?

Heartbreak

is just a daily duty

which I can’t

overcome –

alone.

These days my only consolation

is thought after thought

of You.

These days

my constant isolation

is warmed by constant thoughts

of my Lamb’s blood –

sweat.
