Thought for Today

Come, O Jesus, my Lord,
Come, be born and live on earth.
And if Caesar is of no use to you,
And if he does not offer you the land he has in his hands,
We will offer you the land we have,
This land that is alive and lively in our hearts.
This is the land that you are seeking,
This is the subject of your conquests,
This is the triumph of your victories:
This is what you want to take with you to heaven.
We offer it to you, Lord,
We offer you the world that we are,
We offer you everything that we are.

Cardinal Pierre de Bérulle (1575-1629)
