Look Into This Mirror

With Saint Clare

Saint Clare

I look up and I behold the Lord,

Clare says to me, 'Gaze upon Him, consider Him, contemplate Him," (2^nd letter to Agnes of Prague) I put this more simply: behold, hold, enfold.

I behold the Lord
I see His outstretched hands
I see the blood from His wounds.
I see the love in the eyes of Jesus.
I see His gracious acceptance of me.

Jesus has come out of the tomb -
He still has the scars, but now they are glorious, with the glory of Heaven.
Still looking at the Lord, I reach out and touch Him.
I hold the Lord - and I am held in His love.

Love enfolds.
t is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me.
I am secure in the Lord.
I can look out, now, through the Lord's eyes
I can see the world as He created it, in His mercy,
I can see my sisters and brothers with His love,
and I can worship the Father through the eyes of the Son
in the Love of the Holy Spirit.
