Intellectual stops to override weak wills;
Good reasons to seek less of the alluring,
The steady diet of sense pleasures to sate thrills kills
The recollection of Whose we are. fact finding,
Seizing silence, the Invitation, a better Way,
Persuasive, swaying to Someone far greater,
Infinitely more satisfying; let it stay
And ease the grip of the lower animal order.
Seeing what’s visible, the strong lure for the here
And now, may everlasting life with You not be lost!
To have come all of this way, a shame it would be Dear
God, to fall off the cliff in the end, to have tossed
The highest goods, having been raised in the Host!
Yes, that there would be a Way, oh Holy Ghost!
