Immaculate Renewal

 

The waves of the Spirit wash over me

to cleanse and renew the fervour of my soul

Then I see anew as I am uplifted above all conciousness

an ephemeral gladness envelopes me

A balm heals the past of spiritual disfigurement

to breathe on me another time of reconciliation

A second or third or more, an opportunity to reopen my eyes

to the depths of my being and acknowledge the truth

Remorse and a penitent soul are brought together

to be forgiven in a sacrament of renewal

Beauty and tranquility embrace and surround me

I stand again where I belong and am seen

an example of grace at work amongst us all
