'Poem for the week' -- "FOR THE TIME BEING: A Christmas Oratorio":
A prayer from the poem:
And because of His visitation, we may no
longer desire God as if He were lacking: our
redemption is no longer a question of pursuit
but of surrender to Him who is always and
everywhere present. Therefore at every moment
we pray that, following Him, we may depart from
our anxiety into His peace.
-- W.H. Auden
