Please Be Reconciled To God. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Here and now!
come back to God
God asks for our repentance
and showers on us God's graces.

He grandshis forgiveness
requesting to us so humanly,
not with an attiude of power.

There is no pressure
and compelling
no threat and violence.

God lifts his holy hand
to us to lift us up
from the mire and dirt.

God hopes to work
and complete in us
the work of reconciliation.
Let us fulfill the request
of the Lord of these forty days.

(Forty day of fasting and penance is call of God to imitate Jesus Christ in the desert to purify us and to come back to God) .
