What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him, this God has revealed to us through the Spirit. - 1 Corinthians 2:6-10 (for the whole reading, 2nd reading for 2/13, NAB) As long as I have been Catholic, I have loved this scripture. Its hard to really grasp it, but I think Marty Haugen did with his lyrics. This is the refrain, followed by the verses: Eye has not seen, ear has not heard what God has ready for those who love him. spirit of love, come, give us the mind of Jesus; teach us the wisdom of God. When pain and sorrow weigh us down, be near to us, O Lord; Forgive the weakness of our faith, and bear us up within your peaceful word. Our lives are but a single breath, we flower and we face; Yet all our days are in your hands, so we return in love what love has made. To those who see with eyes of faith, the Lord is ever near, Reflected in the faces of all the poor and lowly of the world. We sing a mystery from the past in halls where saints have trod; Yet ever new the music rings to Jesus living Song of God.
