Investiture on the Feast of the Queenship and Visitation

5/31/2017

 
Picture



​To waste my life on Jesus
is my whole desire.
Like incense ever burning
in the smoldering fire.
​Like sudden spilling ointment
from a flask now shattered.
Like fresh and fragrant petals
of a rose all scattered.

​O let the fire continue
through the night and day!
A spark is all I need
to give my life away.
A puff of smoke, so docile
to your slightest breath
my joy is to surrender
my all in life and death.


​
​O may my life be broken,
useless at your feet.
A wilted costly fragrance,
smelling strong and sweet.
What good will all this do You,
all this waste, my Lord?
The house is filled with sweetness
from a life out poured.

​​I am a host You've taken,
fragile, small and weak.
Changed into Your Body,
given for all to eat.
Into Your hands,
Beloved, I commend my soul.
O let Your love consume me!
​This is my one goal.

My life is but an instant,
here and gone so fast,
but all along the journey,
love will light my path.
What good in this brief lifetime
can I hope to do?
O Jesus, I will spend it,
​waste it all on You.
