day eleven
We give You thanks today, O God, for the arts that have brought the Casa’s liturgy and worship to life and fostered the growth of our community: the music and singing that fills our church each week and fills all outdoors on Christmas and Holy Week, the movement and dance that embodies our prayer when words and music weren't enough, and the creative environments that visually proclaim the liturgical seasons.
There is a purifying energy in the music, the dance and the sacred environment at the Casa. The movement of the dancers washes over us and the pollutants of the day are bathed away and I experience transformation and gratitude. The musicians infuse a healing liquid of notes into the core of my being and i am restored and overwhelmed with gratitude. The beauty of the altar, the Church, the entry way are droplets of a soothing wash for my eyes and I become a witness to the elaborate creativity of God. So for all who sing, dance and create beauty in this time and space, I am truly grateful.
