Purified By A New Awareness Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Allow ourselves
to be purified
by a new awareness
of God in prayer.

The faith that animates
the contemplation knows
that the God's presence
is always new, always
bringing newness
into the world as a foretaste
of what is to come.

God wants and wills that
we might have life to the full.

But we must be ready for this gift.

He reveals His glory that we
might thrive in praise of it.

Do not allow ourselves
to be distracted by thecares
and anxieties that weigh down
taking us away from the presence of God.
