You, a prayerful conversation

Simply Assisting God

· 29 Dec 2007, Saturday 3 pm · Saint Thomas Becket, pray for us

A thought for what needs to be done this coming year…

I am a humble artist
moulding my earthly clod,
adding my labour to nature’s,
simply assisting God.

Not that my effort is needed;
yet somehow, I understand,
my maker has willed it that I too should have
unmoulded clay in my hand.

— Piet Hein
