the answer to how is love
Everything is made of God. Love lies waiting in it.
Every darkest mystery
hides grace.
The most desperate act
is born of hopeful longing:
though the hope has been withheld
the longing still burns.
Even the greatest tragedy
is made of blessed pieces
and drips with the light
of grace it has passed through.
In even the most evil despot
a heart beats and breath is given.
The graver the injustice
the deeper the listening needed;
the more foul the evil
the more love is required.
Grieve your sorrows without pretense.
Protest oppression with courage.
Above all: don’t lose trust in the grace
already infolded in the knot.
