Évangile et Liberté

November 2014

Translation Canon Tony Dickinson

 

Eternal One,

They tell us that you speak to us,

But I have never heard your voice

With my own ears.

The only voices which I hear

Are fraternal voices

Which say to me the essential words.

 

They tell us that you journey with us

But I have never caught you mingling your steps

With my own walk.

The only companions whom I know

Are the fraternal beings

Who share the rain, the wind, the sun.

 

They tell us that you love us,

But I have never felt your hand placed

On my own shoulders.

The only hands that I experience

Are the fraternal hands

Which embrace , console and accompany.

 

But it is you, O Eternal One,

Who offer me these voices,

These companions,

These hands,

Then, in the heart of silence and absence,

You become, through all these brothers,

Word and Presence.

May you be blessed.

 

Amen.
