“The Holy Spirit is to our souls
as the sun is to heaven –
giving light, giving warmth,
filling with brightness and joy.”[1]
Sunshine provides possibility
and enables nature
to produce beauty
of shape, noise, and fragrance.
Spirit enlightens
and inflames the soul
to make harmony
with reverence, zeal, and kindness.
“The tender mercy of our God,
comes to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness,
a guide for the path of peace.”[2]
She listens…
Consoler of the abandoned,
Caretaker of the disabled,
Comforter of the neglected.
