J.M.J.
WITH HIS ARMS OPEN WIDE
WHEN, MY DEAR CHILDREN, A CRISIS IS PENDING,
YOU GATHER IN PRAYER AND CEASE GOD OFFENDING.
BUT WHEN THE URGENCY BEGINS TO SUBSIDE,
YOUR DEPENDENCE ON GOD YOU AGAIN SET ASIDE.
WHY MUST THERE BE ALWAYS A TRAGIC EVENT
BEFORE YOU SEEK GOD ON KNEES THAT ARE BENT?
WHY CAN YOU NOT SHARE EACH DAY YOU ARE LIVING
WITH GOD WHO IS WORTHY OF PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING?
THERE WOULD BE NO CHAOS IF GOD YOU WERE SERVING,
BUT IF GOD IS ABANDONED, YOU’LL REAP WHAT YOU’RE DESERVING.
IF THE GIFTS GOD HAS GIVEN MANKIND DOES ABUSE,
THEN THE BENEFITS GAINED FROM THESE GIFTS THEY WILL LOSE.
IF YOU PREFER, MY DEAR CHILDREN, IN DARKNESS TO LIVE,
THEN THIS, MY DEAR CHILDREN, TO YOU GOD WILL GIVE.
IF GOD’S LIGHT BY YOUR ACTIONS YOU CHOOSE TO OBSCURE,
THEN EACH CRISIS WITHOUT GOD YOU WILL HAVE TO ENDURE.
GOD WILL, MY DEAR CHILDREN, NOT CAST YOU ASIDE
BUT PATIENTLY WAIT WITH HIS ARMS OPEN WIDE.
HE WILL, MY DEAR CHILDREN, CONTINUE TO YEARN
UNTIL ALL HIS CHILDREN TO HIS ARMS WILL RETURN.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
