This poem is an excerpt a longer piece by Sister Constance Brennan, SC, written for the 1978 Feast Day of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton.
… If we could see
where the path leads
there would be no surprises.
We would not appreciate
the friendship of fellow travelers
if we knew the path
And if we could see the path
and know the route
why listen so intently
to the Godsong —
that presence within us
that makes us look
when we think we see,
that makes us look above the ordinary,
beyond the beauty.
And each day
would not be a mystery to us
if the path were clear …
Sr. Constance Brennan, SC
