Our very breath belongs to God

Grasp the fullness of the frailty of your very life and your absolute dependence on Gods gifts and His grace

Jesus died of suffocation so that the breath of the Holy Spirit could be reignited in souls

But we must place ourselves in emptiness of the frail vessels in which we exist, devoid of anything worldly, and in openness to the fullness of the Spirit that fills us!

Breathe in Me O God your Divine Spirit

The Heart and lungs are beginning and ending of our bodily existence

Prayer is the very foundation of our spirtual existence 

God gives us gifts and graces

But he seeks union

Don’t attach yourselves to yourselves,

Nor to the gifts  but surrender and trust in intimate union

It is the heartfelt prayers, and the breath of the Holy Spirit that creates it and keeps it,

when the body dies and the eternal soul lives on!

St. Augustine’s Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit  That my thought may be all holy.

Act in me, O Holy Spirit That my work, too, may be holy.

Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit That I love but what is holy.

Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit To defend all that is holy.

Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit That I always may be holy.

Amen.
