Liturgy Reflection & Benediction 01.13.13

Liturgy The Word you spoke, and keep speaking, O God, is the life, the sustenance, of all that is – seen and unseen. The Life you gave, and keep giving, O Christ, is the recreation, the renewed birth of every broken, wounded and sinful creature. The breath you breathed, and keep breathing, O Spirit, is the inspiration for creativity, compassion […]
