"No one can come to the father save by me,"
Jesus said. For there is knowledge and the act.
Each is heaven's key. Yours by your charity,
and mine by doctrine and a holy compact.
"No one can come to the father save by me."
Welcome, then, all who disdain the words:
the faithless and the heterodox. If love
has kept its vigil in your heart, then towards
the Christ we both go. And will be met above.
"No one can come to the father save by me."
