Like a child

Luke 9:46-50
Memorial of St. Therese of the Child Jesus (St. Therese of Liseux), virgin and Doctor of the Church

Like a child.

In His presence
pride’s hold still takes
and an argument makes
the chance for lessons

Seek not to be great
fallen angel did the same
lost in darkness his gain
be not thou fate

Rather like a child
grow or shrink to be
strength, humility
greatness meek and mild

Receive the One
receive Me
receive he
blessedness won
