From the Heart of A Priest

My supreme God,
where are you?
I no longer seem to know you,
I cannot find you.
But I am compelled to seek you.
You are the spark in my dying soul.
O God, My God-
There is nothing else I can say
- Why have you forsaken me?
I know nothing else,
not even my own life
which I have become unaware of living.
Obedience is my one support
in this relentless storm,
my only fate
amidst the shipwreck.
My God, My Life, my all.

(Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina)
