Poem: "A Mystical Heart" by Edwina Gateley


Christ could be born a thousand times in Galilee –
but all in vain until he is born in me.
– Angelus Silesius

Seed of God,
be born in me,
thrust new life forward
like a sap-filled tree
rising from
Your pool of grace
rooted in my womb’s embrace.
Seed of God,
burst forth from me,
let me stretch
that God
might be.
