Lately I’ve had a desire for deeper stillness in my soul, a desire to live in the present moment, a desire to be present to God’s presence within me.  I wrote this poem as a meditation on the stillness in Christ’s soul—His resting in the Father—from the Incarnation, through His life, passion, death, and resurrection, to His presence in the Holy Eucharist.

Soul of Christ

Stillness in the heavens
Stillness in the womb
Stillness in the manger
Stillness in the temple room

Stillness in the Jordan
Stillness at Cana
Stillness in Your Sermon
Stillness with friends on Tabor

Stillness in the Garden
Stillness in scourging
Stillness in Your crowning
Stillness in crucifixion

Stillness in your rising
Stillness in ascent
Stillness as they gather
Stillness in the Spirit sent

Stillness on the altar
Stillness in the Bread
Stillness in the holy hands
Stillness in souls that are fed

Do you try to be still in God’s presence?  Are you aware of His presence in your soul?
