So Too

As even the smallest grains of sand are bound together into the largest rocks by the pressures and forces in relentless time, and the powerful hand of God raises them up from the depths to become the highest mountains

So too all is formed

From the tiniest unseen elements become perfect cells and functioning organs, and in His time are formed into His most marvelous creation, beyond all other creatures and things; Man, crafted by the master even into His own likeness

So too we are designed

From a new creature, an infant without knowledge of earthly things, His little ones, imbued with the creator’s own sense of righteousness; yet born into the influence of those beings given as earthly parents learn what is good

So too we are shaped

From immediate knowledge of His face before our earthly birth, when His image is imprinted on our angel souls in His wondrous presence; we move into life and it fades; we are reminded of His countenance by the gift of His sacraments

So too faith is nurtured

As from the salt seas, water is lifted up and purified, sent far and wide, then brought down to nurture all, to feed all, to bring life; so too in our bitterness and disappointment, in our weakness, all is still lifted up by His all encompassing mercy

So too we are comforted

And as in the coldest, driest and most lifeless places on this earth, He brings forth life in the most amazing ways, in ways beyond our comprehension; as in our deepest and darkest hours He is still there, reaching out for us, always there

So too we are saved

From the shortest spaces even imaginable by our minds, those between the very essences of the created, to the longest distances which stretch our capacity to understand, where space becomes time

So too is the breadth and depth of His love
