"Smile upon me, face of God, and know You Christ, Love
Incarnate, are loved by my puny heart. Make my will show that
love in all circumstances that present themselves after I depart
from You in this Holy Tabernacle.
Know that I long for eternity but willingly and patiently wait
and finish the earthly work You have given me. I am grateful
for Your unrelenting excessive Trinitarian love for us all. I am
grateful for Your excessive forgiveness for us all.
I continue to be fascinated by the orderliness of Your creation
and by your enduring patience with all as the future unfolds
and races toward the end of time. I am sorry that it took me so
long to understand the richness before me in Jesus Christ, the
God-man. I pray that my offspring will be quicker to
comprehend the gift of Love Incarnate in Christ.
Smile on me, face of God. When I am able to see Your Face
in eternal life, I think I will still keep my head bowed. Proximity
to Love Incarnate will be enough for me."
(Mrs. Donna Kerrigan, OP from Godhead Here in Hiding Whom I Do Adore - Lay Dominicans Reflect on Eucharistic Adoration)
