No matter how big the call, no matter how small, you have no idea what God is calling you to do, but God needs you. He needs me. He needs all of us. -Fr Mychal Judge (From his last homily, Sept 10, 2011)
I come into these walls,
Unknown of what the day will hold.
Uncertain of where God
Will guide my path.
I have no idea
Where I will go
Or what I will do,
When I walk these halls.
I know I am called here
For those in despair,
For those in celebration,
And for those in grief.
I am called to be here for You,
And I am humbled.
I am humbled by these moments.
When I enter a room,
I am a presence, a healing touch,
A comforting word, or a moment of grace.
I am humbled by these moments.
When I celebrate life, mourn death,
Standing in awe of resurrection and I wonder
How is this even possible?
I am humbled by these moments.
As I enter these walls,
For You have asked me to.
I come to You this day and ask for your healing touch,
Your comforting words and your moments of grace;
To reassure me, hold me, and provide whatever I need,
So I may be that presence for You.
I am humbled and ask You now;
Hold me, guide me, and carry me
As I enter this day with You. Amen.
