December Month of Expectancy, Hopefulness, Joy Come, Lord Jesus!

Intention of the month : TO ALLOW THE MYSTERY OF THE INCARNATION TO PENETRATE OUR WHOLE BEING, UNTIL CHRIST BECOMES OUR ‘ALL IN ALL’

And God held in his hand a small globe.

“Look!” he said. The Son looked.

Far off, as through water, he saw a scorched land

of fierce colour. The light burned there;

crusted buildings cast their shadows; a bright

serpent, a river, uncoiled itself, radiant with slime.

On a bare hill, a bare tree saddened the sky.

Many people held out their thin arms to it,

as though waiting for a vanished April to return

to its crossed boughs.

The Son watched them.

“LET ME GO THERE!” he said.
