Love Poem: Prayer Vii

Prayer Vii

Oh LORD, 

Give me the force to withstand the 

Cyclopean waves of human hypocrisy and malice.

Make me strong as to endure the suffering inflicted 

By the knives of hatred and inconsideration which 

Constantly pierce my heart, so as not to seek revenge

But only affection. 

And finally, oh LORD, let your divine love pass

Through my bleeding wounds to heal them in 

Such a degree as in the place where insensitive people

Wanted to plant the malevolent seed of vice, 

Your glorious tree of virtue, to flourish instead.

Amen!
