With Your Name, Jesus

Posted on by lioness

With Your Name, Jesus,
Upon my lips,
Reverberating in my heart,
I pray from the depths
Of our blessed union.

Your Holy Spirit
Forms my prayer,
Born of Faith and Love.
The child, that I am,
Cries, “Abba!”

My tiny arms
Strive to draw closer
My dearest Abba,
As encircling His inclined neck,
And stirring His Fatherly devotion
To one so small,
He kisses me with a glance.

Indulgently, and moved
To an outpouring,
By my frame
In my infancy,
My Abba caresses me
In the peace of angels,
And I live in His shalom.

About lioness

I am a wife, a mother, a Sinai nurse, of who it is said, "You can always tell a Sinai nurse. You just can't tell her much." To that I add, artist, photographer of sorts and a writer. I live loving God and grateful for the Faith with which I am blessed. I am in awe of God's good creation. Daily Mass helps keep me focused and aware of God’s presence. I try to live in that awareness depending on His grace. Through my writing I hope to share His gift.. My writing is my outreach. My part will be as small as I am, but God can use the gifts He gives me. My best efforts aren't enough, I place my works under the patronage of the Immaculata that I may "do whatever He tells you." I write a lot these days. It's good therapy and at least makes me feel like my two cents might help someone, somewhere. That's the plan! I am a wife, a mother, a graduate of the Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing in NYC). I am the commissioned artist of the large Icon, Jesus King of All Nations, that has traveled the world on pilgrimage. I, also, created the prototype for the stain glass window of Our Lady of Medjugorje in the chapel of Caritas, in Birmingham, Alabama. I am a photographer (Photo-Jo/smugmug ), a writer, published in now gone, Catholic Charismatic Magazine, an avid blogger and poet.
