A Feather on the Breath of God 1984 ~ ~ ~*~ ~ ~ O Euchari Ubi cum Filio Dei mansisti, illum tangendo et miracula eius que fecit videndo, O Euchari, in leta via ambulasti ubi cum Filio Dei mansisti, illum tangendo et miracula eius que fecit videndo Tu eum perfecte amasti cum sodales tui exterriti erant, pro eo quod homines erant, nec possibilitatem habebant bona perfecte intueri. Tu autem in ardenti amore plene caritatis illum amplexus es, cum manipulos preceptorum eius ad te collegisti. O Euchari ~~*~~ O Eucharius You trod in the path of joyousness when you tarried with the Son of God, touching him and seeing the miracles that he wrought. You loved him perfectly when your fellow-travellers were terrified because they were men and had no chance to see Divine Good perfectly. But you in the full love of burning devotion cherished him when you garnered the bales of his command for yourself o Eucharius ~ ~ ~*~ ~ ~ Eucharius! you walked blithely when you stayed with the Son of God, touching him, watching his miracle-working. You loved him with a perfect love when terror fell on your friends -- who being human had no strength to bear the brightness of the good. But you -- in the blaze of utmost love -- drew him to your heart when you gathered the sheaves of his precepts. Eucharius! when the Word of God possessed you in the blaze of the dove, when the sun rose in your spirit, you founded a church in your bliss. Daylight shimmers in your heart where three tabernacles stand on a marble pillar in the city of God. In your preaching Ecclesia savors old wine with new -- a chalice twice hallowed. And in your teaching Ecclesia argued with such force that her shout rang over the mountains, that the hills and the woods might bow to suck her breasts. Pray for this company now, pray with resounding voice that we forsake not Christ in his sacred rites, but become before his altar a living sacrifice. ~ ~*~ ~ ..?.. ~*~ Author: AncestraX Keywords: Hildegard Von Bingen Euchari Feather Breath God Christian Hymn Dark Medieval Prayer Atmospheric Mystical Spiritual Added: May 21, 2008
