COMMUNION OF REPARATION
(for Our Lady of Sorrow)
Great as the sea is thy sorrow -
O wide expanse of lonely grey,
endless to sight
and deep beyond the sounding
of our shallow hearts,
how can we comfort thee?
Great as the sea, and silent
as a morning after storm.
O quietness
beside the shore's wild wreckage,
O grief-worn waters,
what comfort can we bring?
O great like the sea, and profound!
O great, and as the sea, so stilled!
O sorrow of Mary,
the infinite heart of God alone
can comfort thee.
Sister M Julian RSM
Catholic World. April 1955
