the Thursday after Easter.
Last year’s gifts were many,
they still delight my soul.
What to do this year ...
What is it that I seek?
I want to ask you, God,
to help me grow once more;
to expand my heart and mind
to know for sure that You’re there.
Dare I ask so much so soon
right after celebrating Easter,
the greatest spiritual event of all?
How dare I frame the question?
“Well, yes, I dissed Easter,
did Lent without growth,
but now … I ask Your help
for my second annual retreat?”
But truly I worked at Lent;
praying, fasting, giving alms,
giving You your due and
hoping, too, I might benefit.
Easter is arriving,
the retreat follows;
both of them excite me
please open me to grace.
