Where is God when the Cathedral is shuttered?
Where is God when the doors and windows
are boarded up and there is no way in?
Where is God when the Cathedral is shuttered?
Where is God when
the sacraments are out of reach?
Where is God without the Eucharist?
Where is God when
people are dying in the streets?
Where is God when the Cathedral is shuttered?
Where is God when the Church is silent
about the injustices on the streets?
Where is God?
Where is God when the doors and windows
are boarded up and not even light can get in?
Where is God when
people are hungry and starving
for righteousness?
Where is God when the Cathedral is shuttered?
In the streets, in the fields, in the homes,
in the forests and in the lakes.
Where nothing is shuttered
and light can freely stream in,
there God is present.
The Cathedral is not the house of God,
God Lives in Everything.
Where is God when the Cathedral is shuttered?
God is there
In the people
Standing outside
The closed Cathedral doors.
Again, Bobby, very beautiful!
