Uninvited Grace

UNINVITED GRACE 

The call to open up

some depth of heart

to so-long uninvited

Grace

let in at last-

the holiness of God

unuttered

calls to see

my bin

of sin-

those places, more,

those thoughts

that I have hid

from Him,

my blindness, chosen,

blinding me

to all that He already

sees.

Come HOLY Spirit

to this

so-sullied heart of me.

Buy back again this self I stole from you

and sold into my chosen slaveries.

AMEN. So let it be.

Seamus Devitt, C.Ss.R.
