Above all, love each other deeply... - I Peter 4:8a
Breath of Heaven,
carry us on the impulse of Christ's love,
as easily as thistledown is carried on the wind;
that in the Advent season of our souls,
while He is formed in us, in secret and in silence -
the Creator in the hands of His creatures,
as the Host in the hands of the priest-
carry us on the impulse of Christ's love,
as easily as thistledown is carried on the wind;
that in the Advent season of our souls,
while He is formed in us, in secret and in silence -
the Creator in the hands of His creatures,
as the Host in the hands of the priest-
we may carry Him forth
to wherever He wishes to be,
as Mary carried Him over the hills
on an errand of love, to the house of Elizabeth.
