Difficult...

Difficult but ... ahead!

Proclaiming, loud and clear,
the Lord is the center of our history,
that without Him, all raves and is destined to fail.
Advertising, word and deed,
the Lord is the source of our energy,
is not what happened yesterday,
it is not an idol with a simple tunic and staff.
That the Lord is more than legend.

Difficult but ... Forward!
Teaching that a heaven awaits us.
Recalling that, in God, we are brothers.
Screaming that forgiveness can only hate.
Working for the land,
is a picture of what awaits us in eternity.

Difficult but ... ahead!
Aware of our sins and miseries.
Becoming roads and wrong attitudes.
Returning to the dispersion and confusion.
Praying that, what we say and act,
Divine inspiration is not just human.

Difficult but ... ahead!
That Jesus goes before us along the way,
when the wind pushes us in the world will stop,
encourages us when our feet are slow,
up when we fall off our faces,
forgives our sins weigh us down.
That Jesus wants us flesh.
That Jesus is aware of our mud.
That Jesus knows we are not gods.
That Jesus, trust our weak hands.

Difficult but ... ahead!
Always on!
In our task of being Christians.
In our desire to proclaim the sky.
In our efforts to make Christ known.
In our dilemmas and anxieties.
Always, always, go ahead!

P. Javier Leoz
