The - Absence - Of - God Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The - Absence - Of - God



To suffer the absence
of the Father, says the
mystical St. John,
is the Lord's
greatest suffering.


It is a true spiritual
death, and we could say,
His pathway into the
abyss of human misery.

Yet in suffering this death,
St. John of the Cross
observes that Christ
accomplished his greatest
work: our salvation.

If we feel the absence of God, then this is just like a spiritual death. We should keep God always in mind. This poem is interesting one.
