Bearing Witness to the Light II...Spirit of the Liturgy

J.M.J. + O.B.T. + M.G.R.*

Rereading Pope Benedict's classic
THE SPIRIT
OF THE LITURGY
is greatly revealing in this time of crisis

Just pondering the cover art,
the Tree of Life and the Cross

is a fruit-filled experience
that is both grounding and wonderful.

Space-Time is again taking me to task
as I try to wrap my head around the
implications of the dual relationships
of energy-mass and space-time.

Again and again I return to that simple equation
and I see the profound significance
of its abiding truth.

It is as if the Holy Spirit 
keeps whispering to me:

REMEMBER
the Speed of Light
is a universal (metric) 3
to remind all that
it is my Divine Agency,
my Divine Action
(Gk: Energeia)
that is at work two times
at each and every consecration
just like the two lights,
Pillar of Fire
 Pillar of Cloud 
that hover over the
Ark of the Covenant 
in the Book of Exodus.

I AM THE LORD
AND GIVER OF LIFE



...and then from the Holy Cross
 I hear those final gut wrenching 
yet beautiful words:

FATHER INTO YOUR HANDS
I COMMEND MY SPIRIT


Sincerely yours
in Jesus through Mary,
Mike Rizzio

Imitate Mary
Become like Jesus
Live for the Triune God

Seek the Light of Our Lord Jesus Christ
See you on the High Ground!
