Sweetest Hour of Agony

Lovers locked

in unbreakable gaze

melting together in flames of mercy

In this blessed warfare,

surrender always triumphs!

creature with Creator

son with Father

Bridegroom with bride

Best Friends!

I am Yours

and You are mine;

now make us one

forever…

An hour with You

is never enough

O Jesus, my Eucharistic Love,

may Your Kingdom come!

Br. Philip Maria Allen, CFR

(written at the end of week-long solitude retreat)
