Analysis of A Word With The Wounded Stag
Oh, Our Divine and Loving Mercy,
I perceive You as a Stag bearing wounds
From the evil filled transgressions of
Myself and others who have lost touch
With the reality of contemplation at
The heart of human existence.
~
For arising from the flow of my sins which
Contributed to Your suffering and especially
Your death by crucifixion I plead guilty and
Pursue forgiveness from your most loving
And sacred heart…
~
Thus, I sincerely request the means from
Your Spirit of Love to heal your wounds
And receive the forgiveness of Our Father
And Our Mother, Mary, as the basis of
Entering Your mystical movement of love
To oppose the evil of the ‘father of lies’.
