If We Understood

(based on a prayer by St. John Vianney) If we understood The amazing good Beyond what eye might see, We would want no more But always adore The Sacred Mystery. No treasures we sought Can transend the thought Of Love to earth come down. And no worldly scheme Or glorious dream Considered more profound. So shake off the dust, Do all that you must To fly to heav’n above. And leave all behind, Seek out the Divine And love as Love has loved.
