From Richard Rohr's Daily Meditation

Make ready for the Christ, Whose smile, like lightning,
Sets free the song of everlasting glory
That now sleeps, in your paper flesh, like dynamite.

                --Thomas Merton, “The Victory."

 

For Christ plays in ten thousand places
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men’s faces.
 
                --Gerard Manley Hopkins, “As Kingfishers Catch Fire”
