Trust in Love

Trust in the love that makes us live,

Love of God that flows from one to another

I trust in Love…

Love that says yes,

that warms and expands the heart,

silences the false beliefs of unhappiness

whispers to me the words of wisdom,

that passes through the darkness of anguish with me

and illuminates my sadness and my wounds.

I trust in Love…

Love that accepts failures and imperfections,

the trials and disasters,

and that makes life something

larger, more humble, more precious.

I trust in Love…

The Love that connects “me” to “you

you who cry at the side of the road,

you who believe that you are worthless,

you who life has not spared,

you who are old and abandoned,

you who die forgotten, you that the bottomless abyss

of suffering and evil devours and consumes.

I trust in Love…

the Love that connects “me” to “everything”

the Love that gives me life and holds this world so mysterious,

the Love that defies death,

Love, the soul that weaves this universe where we walk,

Love that opens my little self

to this great heart that beats everywhere, everywhere.
