God
Reassures
To
Fr Siju and Father Andrew
/For Vocations
Maybe
you
would also remember me.
When
after the celebrations you were there at the back
and
became like a statue.
I
adore you when you become like a statue
because
I only kiss statues like the ones at the chapels.
They
say they gather dust, but the holiness of the image
sparks
a message remembering
how
the saints lived a life of faith.
I
understand those are only moments and surprises from God
to
tell me “Saints are real!”
And
for those times I have kissed you
I
could feel the warmth of a statue
In
the guardianship of a flesh.
“Do
you remember Father Siju, when I teased
you,
St. Siju?
And
also,
“Do
you remember Father Andrew that I told you
You
reminded me of my Korean students?”
Those
mornings I existed with the statues
become
real glorious days for me in your presence.
Those
moments of rhythm
show me the wonders of God’s grace.
I
know you would go, too.
I
know you would go, next.
And
that is why the Saints are there for us.
In
that sacred time of departure
I
understand God reassures.
Stars
at night merge memories of angels
adoring
God.
Evening
calls
Dawn
rises
And
a fresh morning, with the Saints
to
start, again, tomorrow.
Send
O Lord holy apostles into Your church!
