Strangeness
of God
In the land of great
tradition
In the midst of
strong religion
In the soul of deep
realization
I stand before the
other in adoration
“Namaste” I bow
before the God ion you!
We believe God’s
presence in every one of you.
In the beginning of
the story of Abraham
One can feel the
arrival of strange God
At the side of the
oak of Mamre
To the stranger and calls
the place “Peniel”
Stranger, he comes,
but
Blesses those who welcomes him in abundance.
During the census,
He came to Bethlehem
But no one realized
the strange God outside the inn
In the boat, while fishing
, getting nothing in the net
One realises the
strange God who walked on the sea.
On the way to Emmaus
the stranger God
Opened the hearts
and eyes, then they realized
The stranger God
when they welcomed in.
Vincent and Louise
saw their strange God
In the poor and
served Him
They met Him in the
abandoned, lonely
Convicts, sick, medicates,
illiterates… in others
They touched,
taught, served and they were transformed
They saw Him in the
strangers.
The life is
fulfilled in dedicating it to the Giver
Life becomes a
blessing when one welcomes the strange god.
Today we bow before
you Lord who present in the other
Today we welcome you
Lord in the strangers
Today we realise God
that you are in us and in others.
The realisation of
AhamBrahmasmi, Thattvamasi – the Immanuel.
