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.
to wherever He wishes to be,
as Mary carried Him over the hills
on an errand of love, to the house of Elizabeth.
