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.

O Eternal God, now may it please you to burn in love so that we become the limbs fashioned in the love you felt when you begot your Son at the first dawn before all creation. And consider this need which falls upon us, take it from us for the sake of your Son, and lead us to the joy of your salvation.

The Word is living, being, spirit, all verdant greening, all creativity. This Word manifests itself in every creature.

You are encircled by the arms of the mystery of God.

It is easier to gaze into the sun, than into the face of the mystery of God. Such is its beauty and its radiance.

If one intends to make beer from oats, it is prepared with hops.

We shall awaken from our dullness and rise vigorously toward justice. If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion.
