Love Present and Future

  

Not one of us knows our future,

But actually we do,

From our Maker there will be no suture,

When toward His Son we pursue.

All that He made is through love,

All that we have is His gift.

In all our denials we shove

Aside His love and we drift.

Heaven and earth crossed in nexus

When Mary delivered her child

To a sinful world, He perplexed us,

For all His strength He was meek and mild.

Enlightenment, modernity, and reason,

Make claim as superior to all.

Self-contained and a finite different season,

At the Renewal they will fall.

Principalities, dominions, and thrones

Claim powers for their region.

For all their murderous groans

Are infected, they are Legion.

Good and evil each lives,

And not simply as differences of opinion.

Good is what God gives,

Evil is Satan, sin’s minion.

Use your gift of reason

Not to resist your Creator,

But to avoid your eternal treason,

And accept the love of your Diaconal Waiter.
