Be ablaze with enthusiasm...

from the radiation of God's brilliance, 
emerging from God like the rays of the sun."

"Holy Spirit, the life that gives life:  
You are the cause of all movement. 
You are the breath of all creatures. 
You are the salve that purifies our souls. 
You are the ointment that heals our wounds.  
You are the fire that warms our hearts. 
You are the light that guides our feet .
Let all the world praise You."
