Inspired by St. Teresa of Ávila & Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
The wound of Love
leads to a spiritual stock market crash,
and my stock hits record lows
as I stumble around, lost,
my life feeling like
a comedy of errors
in the dark night of the cross.
But the Good Shepherd
has the divine sense of humor,
and when I am lost,
it is then that I am found.
And so, Christ the Courageous
confidently takes me by the hand,
and the Mystical Rose
takes me by the other;
I allow them to lead me upwards,
and my stock suddenly soars to new highs,
following the flight of
the Dove of Divine Mercy,
and, lo, I once again discover
true joy -- which is none other than
Divine Mercy in the dark night.
