At first
Mary didn’t sense
Your presence,
didn’t know it was You
there in the Garden.
When she realized,
her heart was filled
with joy.
How often You are
near to us
and we don’t realize
For You are never far
from any of us.
Lord, help us to be
aware You are close
to us, so that Your
presence can bring
us joy, a joy that
makes our heart sing.
Amen.
- Columban Fr. Pat Sayles
