Ask Anything

 

“Ask anything.”

 

My Lord said to me.

 

And my mind and heart thought deeply

 for a second,

 

then replied with just one word,

 

“When?”

 

God’s arms then opened up and I entered Myself.

I entered myself when I entered

Christ.

 

And having learned compassion I

 allowed my soul

 

to stay.

 

 

- St Thomas Aquinas
