A Cosmic Conversation

"In my mind’s ear I can hear God saying to God, 

“Can I do it?

Do I love them that much? 

Can I leave my galaxies, 

my solar systems,

 can I leave the hydrogen clouds 

and the birthing stars 

and the journeyings of comets, 

can I leave all that I have made, 

give it all up, 

                                                     and become a tiny, 

unknowing seed 

                                                           in the belly of a young girl?

 Do I love them that much? 

Do I have to do that in order 
to show them what it is to be human?

Yes!”

The answer on our part is a grateful Alleluia! 

Amen! 

God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son…"
