Dear God,

I walked into the spiritual center and felt at home.  I knew your voice and your loving presence.  I felt your joy and longed to spend time with you.

There are holy spaces, holy places, and holy settings where you reside.  You let yourself be known.  You speak to us.  You inspire us.  You smile and we see you in the eyes of those whose lives are devoted to you.  We feel your embrace and know we are yours.

At the Marie Joseph Spiritual Center, I did not have to search for you because you were in every corner.  You met me at the door, the beach, the window, the chapel, and even the dining room.  You welcomed me in and gently spoke.  You filled me with sweet peace and I dwelled there.

Holy Spirit God,
your grace
fills us
with joy
from on high.
You touch us
with the kiss
of heaven
and you
give us cause
to praise.
You give us
opportunity to worship
you in spirit
and in truth.
You bless us
and our hearts
are full.
Bless you,
Lord,
bless you!

Love, Andrea
