"Come Holy Spirit fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, O lord, and they shall be created and renew the face of the earth."
God's Grandeur The world is charged with the grandeur of God, It will flame out , like shining from shook foil; It gathers to greatness, like the ooze of oil Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod? Generations have trod, have trod, have trod; And all is seared with trade: bleared, smeared with toil; And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod. And for all this, nature is never spent; There lives the dearest freshness deep down things ; And though the last lights off the black West went Oh, morning at the brown brink eastward springs - Because the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings Gerald Manley Hopkins |
