by Corrado Giaquinto, circa 1754
This morning, I was inspired by the homily of our local priest, Fr. 'Tim.' He was referring to the Holy Spirit (Ghost) and the Hebrew term for spirit: breath. Hence, I penned the following:
Divine Breath
Enter the Holy chamber; kneel before Divinity
present on the altar in the form of a simple candle.
Surrounded by a feeling of His welcoming Spirit,
a Blessed breath causes one to inhale
the Cleansing Air of love and forgiveness,
to exhale the chaos of hate and compromise.
Over and over, this choice is made:
to breathe in the Holy Spirit and offer Love and Forgiveness
of His Divine Breath to all of humanity.
Repentance... Salvation:
the salve that soothes the wounded soul.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
