God Breathed




















The Breath of God symbolizes the divine life manifesting itself without visible embodiment. The cloud, always closely associated with the wind, is the natural veil of a heavenly visitor. "Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud," said God to Moses.

"For love warms not my heart, nor can I rise, Or ope the doors of Grace, who from the skies Might flood my soul...

Rend Thou the veil, dear Lord ! Break Thou that wall...

Send down Thy promised light to cheer and fall...

That I with love may blaze, And free from doubt, my heart feel only Thee!" (Michelangelo)
