Sacred Heart Retreat House, Sedalia, Colorado

On the mountaintop you stand poised and elegant;
Sunrays in the morning greet you with a gentle kiss,
Before saying goodbye they caress you warmly;
How amazing they appear with their multi-colours!

Your thought-provoking beauty
Attracts hundreds of pilgrims in faith;
Who take refuge in you for a while
Seeking for solace and new meaning in their lives!

Innocent birds, rabbits, deer, and other wild animals;
All are part of your extended generous family!
Unceasingly they sing praises to their Creator
And they are unfathomable to the human intelligence!

Hearts laden with sorrows and fears
Give way to peace and tranquility
As they pass by the dazzling little pond;
The broad-smiling pristine lotus and the fish
Lovingly touch the fringes of their hearts to lift them up to God!

I heard praises upon praises
And wondered if they were true!
Had I not come to you, I wouldn’t witness them myself;
Absolutely, they were not wrong!
That’s what you are­­—Sacred Heart Jesuit Retreat House!
