SURRENDERING TO THE DIVINE DOVE / by Joe Castorino

O Divine Dove

of Holy Love

I trust in you;

when my life

feels out of control,

I surrender to you

and let you guide me

where you will,

and so I alertly

ride on your back,

as you take off

like a fighter jet,

ready to engage in battle;

as you twist and turn,

dive and soar,

through the turbulent

and stormy dark sky,

you pay no attention

to the deafening thunder

or the maniacal lightning,

but you protect me

and encourage me

as you lead me safely

to my journey’s end;

when I let you lead me,

I truly experience

the divine sense of humor,

and practice holy courage

and heroic patience,

as I once again discover

Divine Mercy in the dark night.
