Oh gioia! oh ineffabile allegrezza!
oh vita intègra d'amore e di pace!
oh sanza brama sicura ricchezza!
O joy! O gladness words cannot say!
O life fulfilled by love and peace!
O richness assured day by day!
We daydream of ecstatic
dramatic change
bestowed not built
Thy kingdom comes
minute by minute
with each choice
God's choice
is love
Ours often not

Ciò ch'io vedeva mi sembiava un riso
de l'universo; per che mia ebbrezza
intrava per l'udire e per lo viso.
What I saw seemed to be a smile
the universe had smiled; my rapture had
entered by way of hearing and of sight.
Smiling bright
as we rose above
sea and city
Lightness of being
in this moment
full of delight

Dunque a l'essenza ov'è tanto avvantaggio,
che ciascun ben che fuor di lei si trova
altro non è ch'un lume di suo raggio,
più che in altra convien che si mova
la mente, amando, di ciascun che cerne
il vero in che si fonda questa prova.
So where is the essence of such advantage
from which every good unfolds
what is the lumen of its radius
through our needs it moves
the mind to loving, who discerns
the truth in which its source is proven
Recognizing ourselves
in our enemies
as in our beloved
We discern our
common creation
and shared purpose

E io: «Per filosofici argomenti
e per autorità che quinci scende
cotale amor convien che in me si 'mprenti:
ché 'l bene, in quanto ben, come s'intende,
così accende amore, e tanto maggio
quanto più di bontate in sé comprende.
And I: By philosophic arguments
and by authority whose source is here,
such love must be in me imprinted;
for the good, once it is understood as such,
enkindles love; and greater
goodness comes of greater love.
Faith hope and love
are verbs
responding to objects
Goodness truth and beauty
are objects
prompting action
