Today's Hymn
“Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart”
Teach me to love thee as thine angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame;
the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.
by George Croly
Hymn 688, Glory to God
verse 5
Reflection
We are a fact-driven culture these days.
We hear or read something and dive into fact-checking to see if what we’ve heard is true. There are so many information sources that you could spend days checking one fact.
But when it comes to God, there are no facts to check, and there’s no searching the Internet. There is only my love and passion for God — to love God as the angels love, one holy passion.
Prayer
Fill me with passion and love, O Lord. Amen.
