The Breakability of God


Could God be Almighty- yet tiny and poor?
Creator of planets- forgotten, ignored?
Invincible Lord- but breakable, frail?
The words of the Bible these myst’ries unveil

The tininess of God displayed
In Bethlehem’s babe
Cute and small (Lk. 2)

The poverty of God portrayed
In Galilee’s tramp
Shunned by all (Mt. 8:20; Mk. 14:71)

Our God’s “dismissability”
In Nazareth’s son
“without honor” (Mk. 6:4)

The Lord’s preferred fragility
In Calvary’s Lamb
Led to slaughter (Is. 53:7)

God’s weakness, smallness, helplessness, and utter breakability

Are found in ev’ry person full-endowed with all His features (Gen. 1)

And found in ev’ry Eucharistic Host! For shareability

Empow’ring us to heal Him hidden in His broken creatures (Mt. 25)
