Love is by your side; you are weak, but in
your weakness I am extolled;
January 7, 1995
(Orthodox Epiphany)
My God, Yahweh, Eternal Father,
You who so patiently
wait for our conversion,
come! Come and feed all of us
with Celestial Food to satisfy our needs;
You are known
to have a generous Hand,
Righteous One, come and save us!
Turn the wicked man’s heart
into a kind heart so that he too
shall assert Your greatness.
Yahweh, My Tenderhearted Dad,
the world does not yet
know You entirely,
not the way You really are
and only with a demonstration
of the power of Your Holy Spirit
shall mankind realise
the greatness of Your Name
and extol Your splendour of Your glory.
Yahweh, Father of each one of us,
let mankind learn Your acts of mercy,
tenderness and graciousness;
remind them Father,
that the majestic glory of Your Kingdom
belongs to them too
were they to have the right heart.
I have passed on Your Words
to every nation You have sent me
and I followed Your command.
I have, within my limits,
made Your Loving Portrait
known to them again,
the way You revealed It to me,
so that they too rejoice and realise
that they are Your offspring
and Your seed.
I followed Your instructions
and reminded them
that they too are from royal descent.
Holy Father,
as You are continuously
sending me out to proclaim
Your Love Hymn, by voice, as an echo,
to share Your Love Song
with my brothers and sisters,
I pray for those who still are unaware
and living in a world
of oblivion and darkness,
that Your Holy Spirit may shine
as a thousand suns in one in their spirit.
Yes, let Your Holy Spirit, who outshines
all the constellations put together,
turn every soul
as an untarnished mirror,
an image of goodness,
before they disappear
as though they had never existed.
Once restored, they too will go out
with zeal in perfect virtue,
to proclaim a visible image
of Your Splendour
and Your Sovereignty,
for they would have acknowledged
what is most divine.
