GOING TO GOD WITH THE SHEPHERDS
By Louis William Countryman
If you want to go to God, go without Your certainties. Take your graces. Leave Your certainties behind. If you go looking For a Triangle inside a trefoil inside A Conundrum, you’ll miss the greatest sight Of all, the Holy Trinity playing Children’s games on the lawns of heaven. If You only look for the Virgin of the Window, You’ll walk right past Our Lady, laughing and telling Stories with a group of friends. The disciples
Knew not the Lord Jesus in his resurrection Flesh. They were expecting someone else, Someone they knew for certain. And this was
like But was it he? They knew him only when He handed them their bread. Go to God, then,
Taking in the hand of memory The silken light of a clear dawn after Wet weather and say, with tears if need be, “You made this.” Take the name of your beloved And say, “You made him and in him you remade
me.” Take the goodness of your life. And take Some moment of uncertain and life-giving Hope, like an angel whispering or –sometimes– Trumpeting in your ear. These are your guides. And so
Go with the shepherds on their angelic quest, Go to that hick town that David left As soon as he got the chance, go to the stable, See what you never expected to see, the doors To God opening in that manger against All uncertainty. And then return to find
Anew the tracks of grace: the beauty of men, The beauty of women, the delight of children, The running of a swift dog, the flight of birds, The sweetness of a pear, hands held in quiet. If you want to go to God, leave your certainties Behind. Be sure to take your graces.
