Poems on Suffering

 

Suffering

 

True, suffering has reality in it.

Who denies it?

But the transcendence of suffering

Also has reality in it.

Who can disbelieve it?

Your Suffering World

 

Do not overvalue

Your suffering-world.

Lo, it will vanish

Even faster

Than you can open your eyes.

 

 

~

 

 

O Suffering Christ

 

O suffering Christ,

My heart of love

Suffers with you and for you.

O forgiving Christ,

My love of life

Enjoys with you and for you.

O illumining Christ,

My life of love

Is for you, only for you.

HE IS SUFFERING

 

He is suffering

Because

He knows not

His Mother's voice,

 

He is suffering

Because

He knows not

His Fathers choice.

 

He is suffering

Because

He knows not

Where God is,

 

He is suffering

Because

He knows not

Who he is.
