FAITH HOUSE Manhattan: A Sabbath Poem (St. John of the Cross - 2)

an inter-dependent community

We are a community that discovers “the other” (individuals or groups other than our own).
We honor and learn from the teachings, practices, sufferings, and joys of people from different faiths (religions, worldviews, philosophies, and belief systems). We come together to deepen our personal and communal journeys, learn to live with our differences, and contribute to the wellbeing of the world.

A Sabbath Poem (St. John of the Cross - 2)

IF YOU LOVE
~ by St. John of the Cross (1542-1591)
You might quiet the whole world for a second

if you pray.
And if you love, if you

really love,
our guns will

wilt.

(from the Love Poems from God: Twelve Sacred Voices
from the East and West, translation Daniel Ladinsky
- Penguin Compass, 2002)
