Iron church bells
multicolored stained glass
multicolored stained glass
icons of angels
the blessed crucifix
candles incense
eternal flame
monks and sisters
chanting out the Holy Name
lives of saints and broken bread
priests and presence
vows of silence
enter the monasteries
learning the practices of the presence of God
celibate, set apart
a community unto itself
disciplines of the Spirit
going deep
deep
into the world of the Holy
the soil that gave birth to
St. Francis
Brother Lawrence
Mother Teresa
instruments of your peace
the seasons festivals common prayer
the Spirit that hovers in the atmosphere
