We cannot deserve grace
it is a gift
bestowed upon us
out of love
and mercy
all we can do
is to accept this gift
with an open heart

The truth is written
on your heart
you can ignore it
deny it
or reject it
but the truth remains
waiting patiently
for you to submit
to Love
THE TRUTH REMAINS

Give way
Give way to love
To peace
To compassion
Give way to quiet understanding
Give way to that which is eternal
So that you too
May become eternal
GIVE WAY

Your task is not
To fix the world
You are not called
To change your brothers and sisters
You are merely asked
To love God and your fellows
As God has loved you
AS GOD HAS LOVED YOU

Do not be surprised
When those who have never
Had peace in their hearts
Speak in terms of
Rivalry and conflict
Your task is not to change them
But to seek peace in yourself
And reflect love into the world
NOT TO CHANGE THEM
