Vocatus atque non vocatus deus aderit

Deus Aderit

by Terrence Litwiller

Vocatus atque non vocatus deus aderit.

“Called or not called,

God is present.”

Good day or bad day,

God is present.

In fullest confidence or in lingering self-doubt,

God is present.

In courage or in fear,

God is present.

In stillness or in raging storm,

God is present.

In justice or in hypocrisy,

God is present.

In trust or in insecurity,

God is present.

In unconditional love or in our struggle to fight hate,

God is present.

In our bowing of surrender or in our unapologetic apathy,

God is present.

Broken and humbled or boastful and distant,

God is present.

In our circle of dearest friends or in a crowd of frenzied strangers,

God is present.

Where there is Grace unbounded or pleading unfulfilled,

God is present.

Seeking or not seeking,

Grateful or not grateful,

God is present.

“Called or not called,

God is present.”
