Holy Spirit,
You are like a velvet flame
enveloping me in Your warmth,
surrounding me with Your light
till even my insides glow
and the beating of my heart
is a pulsating brightness
emitting Your love.
Without You—
a burnt wick
a cracked and snappable thread
a lack of light
an emptiness.
Holy Spirit,
remember those days
almost 12 years ago now
when I was so excited
to receive You for the first time?
When I imagined You coming to
take up residence in me
the way a cat curls up cosy
on her master’s lap,
bringing warmth and comfort?
Thank You for being with me
guiding me
inspiring me
helping me
my true muse and soul’s friend.
May I always speak Your words
spread Your love
shed Your light
and bring the twinkle of Your beauty
into the world.

Had a few quiet minutes after Mass today nursing the baby while my husband watched the kids play outside. I think there’s a special power and grace in writing before the tabernacle…easy to be open to inspiration there! 🌠
