| Angel in Prayer, by Gian Lorenzo Bernini 1598-1680 |
| CARRY ME TO THIS ENCHANTED SHORE Now before the morning light appears; now in calm anticipation; now this sacred, still, unmeasured interval I dedicate to thee. Wherever are revived the dying, comforted the grieving, given hope the flagging spirits, raised the fallen, fed the hungry souls; Wherever life begins again, where nothing is impossible, and where the very sun is robed and vested; where the angels from their rest arise; Where all are baptized in the freshet, pure emerging, venom banished in ignominy and washed away; Where common things become a garden, radiant with color, light, and form; Where light is born; Where all the universe declares benevolent intent; where music out of silence grows, where all from nothing comes and all that ends begins: Carry me, O Father-Mother God, to this enchanted shore, that I as well may be reborn and dwell in innocence again. Thine angels send among the suffering. Where they are fragile, make them strong; where broken, make them sound; their pain assuage, evaporate, distill. Thine all-annealing love bestow, and where it finds a cold, unyielding heart, thy shining grace impart, to melt the very stones that guard the hermit’s door, that light may enter and embrace. God, where glory lives, accept our weary selves, complete us. Open our insensate eyes, that we might recognize the riches we possess, and the provision we require — before us now, already ours; all beauty at our feet, all sound by heaven’s choir made crystalline; all that is lovely, seen, recalled; and all abundance — everything we need and more, beyond the sum of ancient dreams and unfulfilled desires. January 22, 2006 |
| Missa Ego Flos Campi composed by Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla (c. 1590 - 1664) was a composer of New Spain (a viceroyalty of Spain that included modern day Mexico, the Philippines, Guatemala, and other parts of Central America and the Caribbean). He was born in Málaga, Spain, but moved to Puebla, Mexico, in 1620 to compose music in the new world. Padilla is one of the more important composers represented in the manuscripts at Puebla, Mexico, and the Hackenberry collection in Chicago, Illinois. He worked at Puebla de Los Angeles, Mexico, which in Baroque times was a bigger religious center than Mexico City itself. He was appointed maestro de capilla of Puebla Cathedral in 1628. The majority of his vast output (over 700 pieces survive) include sacred motets, often for double choir, in the Renaissance style or stile antico as well as sacred villancicos. It often includes accompaniments for organ or various stringed instruments. —Wikipedia |

Once upon a time, we believed in miracles — spiritual
miracles. When we were ill, injured, or afflicted with
any sort of... [problem], we made appeals to God. We
turned to our spiritual guides — our holy men, our
priestly purveyors of prayer therapies. We recited
prayers prescribed by the church. We turned to
healers, medicine men, saints, and the somehow
spiritually charged symbols of faith: icons, statues,
pictures, and medals. We looked for signs that prayer,
faith, religion, belief, and God could heal us. And we
found them. Often, they worked wondrously.
Then along came medical science — biology,
pharmacology, radiology, and modern surgical
practices. Suddenly, we had a pill, a treatment, or an
operation for everything that could be cured —
scientific miracles. And prayer and faith were shunted
to the side, their incredible power forgotten. Never
mind that some people got well without science and
medicine. Never mind that some people got well even
when the treatments and pills failed.... Faith was
dismissed as superstition, dismissed with contempt.
Now, everyone has stopped laughing. Now, the very
science that they trust is proving what we hoped, what
we prayed was true all along. Somehow, for some
reason, prayer, faith, and healing work.
Experiment after experiment is showing the
connections, raising possibilities, and suggesting that
God not only exists and answers prayers, that prayerful
“intentions” not only influence physical reality but that
prayer, religion, and faith are good for us — good for
our health, good for our outlooks, good for our
communities, good for our overall physical and mental
well-being. The connections are clear. More than two
hundred studies prove it.

Sister Alma Rose
Prays the Lord’s
Prayer
I. PRAISE &
GRATITUDE
Father-Mother, One
Creator,
Source of Everlasting
Bliss,
Constant Breath of
Inspiration,
which, to take, is to
inhale
the sweet, pure
innocence of Heaven:
Reluctant must we be
to call on you by name,
as if we might,
by naming,
Circumscribe your
mystery, when all that
is required — to know
enough, for now — is
to reach out and
touch the hem of Glory
as it passes by.
Until the day we see
you face to face, and
understanding dawns,
sufficient for the hour
is Grace; and may we
know by faith that to
accept abundance,
pouring-out of love, is
to embrace the wealth
of spirit, joy unmerited
and favor, our
inheritance unearned.
(Your praise and
gratitude)
II. PETITION &
INTERCESSION
O Ancient Ones, ye
saints and angels
blessed with intimate
acquaintance with the
Holy One, and not as
we must be, unseeing,
blinded by the sun that
takes
possession of the
visible, that we might
know it merely by
reflection:
Guide us when we
cannot read
the signs that mark the
homeward pathways;
steer us toward the
single
destination; give us
patience for
the waiting; turn our
hearts toward those,
our fellow travelers,
who fail
to notice that the way
itself is
studded with the
riches of the
holy realm. And when
we are
diverted by a pretty
road that
leads to nowhere,
show us what small
treasure it conceals,
some
bagatelle that serves as
currency,
to trade in time for
greater wealth, not
to be hoarded; we are
meant to
travel light, I know; for
if we
show what tokens we
have gathered,
as if they had native
value,
not derived from holy
purpose,
some will steal them,
some deceived as
we have been. Then
should we not
forgive, and pity victims
of
deception, lured, like
us, by dim and
useless radiance,
inconstant
light, as if a firefly could
show us what might lie
around the turning?
Your true light, alone,
O God, burns
to illuminate and not
devour, and such as we
would find in
it is everlasting. Keep us
fast upon the guarded
path,
impervious to fervent
summons
called in ignorance, or
fear,
or malice. Teach us,
God, to hear
your voice amid the
shrill or subtle
sound and fury.
(Your petitions and
prayers of intercession)
III. CONFESSION
Every choice
creates a future—
never, though,
beyond redeeming.
Shall we suffer
needlessly, inflicting
pain,
deflected from our
calling, kept from
Heaven by the
specious gleam
of something stolen
from a cave,
believing it will save
our souls?
(Your confession)
IV. REASSURANCE
Or
shall we seek—instead
of gold, and
pleasure for an hour—
enlightenment, eternal
glory,
Spirit’s treasure,
perfect power?
Amen
