In Praise of the Holy Spirit

Oh, Holy Spirit, Your leadership heals our souls. When mankind finds You ever ready to grant peace, Your light is felt in each heart. War, famine, illness -- all these maladies you purge. Blessed Dove of peace, You give love to all nations, hoping for benevolence. When kindness prevails, it’s Your spirit that we praise; we have You to thank. Your light leads the way for us. We are blessed with Your deep love. We are but sinners, seeking Your divine guidance. We’re given choices, but only You can lead us to everlasting accord.

Carolyn, this is such a lovely write on one of my favorite persons! I love the Holy Spirit and I felt HIS presence as I read along this quadruple tanka delight! Please remember that the Holy Spirit is the best thing that has ever happened to us as Jesus ascended into the clouds to be with His Father. O Holy Spirit help us to heal this nation! We can't do it without your help! :)
