Dwell in the soul that longs to be Your temple

Good Thursday afternoon, my friends.

St. Augustine certainly had a way with words.  "Dwell in soul that longs to be Your temple".  Love it.

Be refreshed by these words today.

Amazing Grace and Eternal Peace be yours in abundance,

Bruce

O Love of God, descend into my heart;

Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling,

And scatter there Your cheerful beams.

Dwell in the soul that longs to be Your temple;

Water that barren soil overrun with weeds and briars

And lost for lack of cultivating.

Make it fruitful with Your dew.

Come, dear Refreshment of those who languish;

Come, Star and Guide of those who sail amidst tempests.

You are the Haven of the tossed and shipwrecked.

Come now, Glory and Crown of the living,

As well as the Safeguard of the dying.

Come, Sacred Spirit;

Come, and make me fit to receive You.

– St. Augustine
