The work of God unfolds
Everywhere and every time
Here in Hamilton, too,
An Opus Dei Centre, unveiled
A discovery of a pleasant kind
Spiritual search of the Old rekindled
Just a couple of men and occasionally
A woman, besides the Mother, whose work
Get done being there prominently
Over the tabernacle, protecting him as she
Did as depicted in the Triptych
Jose Maria Escriva’s Dream of empowering
The Church has travelled far from Spain to
New Zealand and a priest, and a few
Communities do nurture the faith of those
They care and those in need.
A university chaplain, a Doctor and a Lawyer
Do form the centre, and a unit of women
Elsewhere in the city, besides
Discovered on looking out
An opportunity to offer worship
The offer came to worship with and for them
In place of the University chapel
At a morning hour of dawn,
Setting the tone for an early day.
The Work of God is Opus Dei
Done in a morning walk and still moments
From hidden ways to quiet ways
His work survives, and He does work.
