Monique Ocampo Writes
So for the past few days, I’ve been away on retreat. It was an amazing, wonderful experience. I wanted to share a poem I wrote while I was praying at Adoration during the retreat.
Trust Fall
How did this happen?
My body was so weary
My spirit so weak
I just wanted to fall
And I wanted you to catch me
So I ask You to catch me
And into Your arms I fell
All of a sudden, I am awakened
Getting a second wind from the song of the Spirit
All of a sudden, I find myself strong
In your presence I find my life, my joy, my strength
Thank You for making me strong
Also, since the retreat ended on All Saints Day, I want to thank the saints in a litany of gratitude.
