To the Heights-XVIII
Lord, thou hast heard our prayer,
And come down into our mortal ways-
Assumed the form, the flesh that build our weakness,
Thou hast deigned, to be close to us and wear our make,
To be with us and to be of us.
But we have taken thy humanity in a too literal and familiar way,
We have forgotten the Aspiration and the Descent, the
answering Grace that took shape in thy advent;
And now we blame thee and slight thee, because thou art
become like us-earthly and human.
Divine, thou art too far-human, too near!
For, the aberration of our petty minds knows no limits!
But thou sufferest all
And keepest thy unruffled and unabated benignity-
On thy lips is the smile of eternal and infinite Grace,
The smile that is thine alone.
June 1, 1933
