Oblation

Found this as I was going through some things.

Cardinal O'Connor had this taped to the top of his desk. 

 

 

Oblation   

by Elizabeth Rooney

 

I hope each day

to offer less to you,

each day by your great love

to be diminished until at last
I am so decreased by your hand

and you so grown in me

that my whole offering

is just an emptiness

for you to fill

or not

according to your will.
