Listen to Love: God is with you.

. Sophia 2 .

Love fell on me
like snow from high sky
(gently)

I stood there
waiting for
Communion

I looked into the eyes
of the man
who held Love
my Love
in his hand

Abyss called to Abyss
depth touched
the deepest core
of my sorrow

my Bread and Body

eyes closed -
"Noli me tangere"
said Jesus to Magdalene

I know -
this Love will shield me

I count my blessings

bless his Holy Name


. Sophia 4 .

and now bless
and now
the whole, the all,
cosmos, chaos,
gleaming, living waters,
exploding spheres,
black skies filled with fire

and now bless -
blessed be the Holy,
the One beyond being,
above, below, after, breathing

now bless -
mine, ours, yours, love,
pearl strings of peace,
joy, heartbeat of stillness,
jewels of transfigured touch,
petals unfurling
into wings of glory

now blessed

Colossians 3:12
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe
yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and
patience.

from The Forbidden Gospels Blog by April DeConick

Then all the children of light truly will know the truth and their root, and the Father of everything and the Holy Spirit. They will all say with a single voice, "The truth of the Father is just, and the Son is above everything." And from everyone forever, "Holy! Holy! Holy!" Amen.

Manuscript illumination: Isaiah's vision as recorded in Isaiah 6.

To the poet, to the philosopher, to the saint, all things are friendly and sacred, all events profitable, all days holy, all men divine. For the eye is fastened on the life, and slights the circumstance.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

09.18.08 - Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit

We beseech You, O Lord, mercifully pour into our Society, Thy Holy Spirit, by whose Wisdom it was created, by whose Providence it is governed and maintained, and whose love may enkindle in the Society that same fire which Our Lord, Jesus Christ sent down upon earth earnestly desiring that it should burn mightily.

And so,

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my thoughts may all be holy.

Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my work too may be holy.

Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
That I love but what is holy.

Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
To defend all that is holy.

Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
That I always may be holy.
-Mother Teresa
