Jesus,
How are you today?
How many people have come to you?
How many people have held your hand?
How many people have whispered to you?
Your age is uncountable.
You have been living for a long time.
Nothing’s new with you.
Generations come and generations go,
but you remain forever.*
You look at each of us.
You wait for each of us.
Until each of us sees you
and knows that
you love us.
How long have you waited for us?
How long will you wait for us?
All your life
you devote yourself to us,
so that we would be calm
and know what true happiness is.
Thank you.
I love you, Jesus.
Amen.
PTH

but the earth remains forever.
