A Quiet Morning in the Chapel

The Sun rose and spread her shine on 

every rose petal in the Parish Garden 

where Prayers had settled on the Alter 

with Candles burning as a penance for 

the people of the Village in the Valley... 

The Saints in stained glass windows are 

blessed to have the light shine through... 

Reviews

[Beccy]

A gently evocative poem. Reminds me so much of our parish church, (construction of which started in 1250 AD.) It is quite beautiful inside, has lovely stained glass windows and is a true haven in a world sometimes far to frantically paced.

Blessing to you and trust this festive season will bring you and yours joy and happiness.

Beccy.

dearest Beccy... we all worship the same God and trinity... I love the quaint Parish Reverence. We have an Episcopal Church in lee Town Fredericksburg with stained glass windows and a Pipe Organ that brings love and harmony to our Spirit. This year especially is a very Spiritual year with so many Immigrants with babies and young children. Our prayers are especially for the Innocent who are displaced with promises that has changed our Country... The Holy Spirit will guide our ways, Wishing you and yours a safe and healthy Season of love and devotion. gently, Pat

A poem as beautiful as stained glass. There is such a feeling of peace

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Patricia… lovely to read your Review.. My Mother was an Artistic Lady and Pretty as a stained glass Window … She is the Sunrise and the Sunset. gently, Pat

Mary's Garden at dawn... It has been too long since I last visited. Few on the roses, Golden Ray's gleaming on green leaves. A peaceful recollection. Beautiful words, Ma'am.

I can hear monks chanting. A soft flowing write Pat ever so gentle in passing.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Andrew... love your thinking of Monks chanting... Spiritual moments will always be present when we let our minds encompass the presence of the Divine in our Quiet Interludes in Prayer. May Venus the Evening Star bring Peace and Love to you and yours. tenderly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Your faith is shinning through like those wonderful stained glass. Your prayers are worthy and ascending to the Almighty. You are inspirational in all genres.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami… so many of us are brought to our knees as the World unfolds. What would we think if Gid said to us… “I can forgive, but I cannot forget. I was told that God will forgive and forget .. if you are truly repentful when you want forgiveness. Only God knows the Answer… in the meantime we can have remorse and ask forgiveness. I suppose Satan never asked for forgiveness, so God threw The Devil Lucifer out of Heaven and we have been harassed by Lucifer ever since. We all need to stay away from the Influence of Lucifer. Truly…

[Sami Khalil]

So true and well said. We must pray and humble ourselves, ask for forgiveness and guidance and have a thankful heart and mouth. Be blessed.

Hi Patricia, this poem is a blessing for me this early morning. It brings a peace to the soul as one reads down your so gentle lines. You make the heart to sing a joyous song. A cascade of joyous emotion. Have a wonderful Monday. Hugs....Mike.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Shadrach… I actually feel very humble; however, I do believe that during the turmoil we are experiencing in the World with the Pandemic and the threat of destruction… we should look toward divine Intervention. It takes all of us of different faiths to come together. There is Hope. We can search our Heart and accept others, as long as there is no Violence or threat to the children and others. We need to bring the Evil people to Justice. That includes lethal drug dealers and child molesters and human traffickers… they should not be allowed to continue their Evil and be accounted for accordingly. There is strength in Good People. truly, Pat

[shadrach hah]

Hi Patricia, I am 100% behind what you say. The evil of this world has to be rooted out and dealt with in the severity terms. We do need divine intervention to start us on our way again. God has to be with us. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Hugs....Mike.

[lightsong]

beautiful, faithful, I felt like I am reading a serene scene in novel where, that's the power of your poetry, the gentleness it has feels like miracles are sparkling everywhere... a little note, You forgot the (t) in the second line (the Parish Garden).

[Patricia Wedel]

dear "light song"... if I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. This was a prayer my Mother taught me to say each night. The gentleness of your words will be forever remembered. I Thank thee for "the" correction.
We believe in "miracles" and the touch of "Grace".
tenderly, Pat

[lightsong]

You are FAR than beautiful!! You are a gorgeousness of a Soul!

[Patricia Wedel]

I humbly accept your blessing... we need to focus on the Spiritual gifts now more than ever, as the World is experiencing a Change that encompasses everyone.
Every Soul that is born has a touch of the Holy Spirit..
and our Spirit lives on... (is what I feel). Therein lies our Hope, Faith and Charity. Amen Pat

All Saints Day..nicely penned;

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Fran... how peaceful are your words. I adore stained glass windows in a Parish with the light shining through. All Saints day has come and gone... but God's Grace remains. gently, Pat

What a gentle, serene and poise write is this...a very soothing calming effect it is providing! The new ray of sun passing through the stained windows...I can imagine its beauty as it will certainly reflect its aura somewhere else! It reminded me of my meditation session...

Thank you for sharing such a tender touch with us

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest "Dreamer sima"... sorry for the delay... I appreciate your gentle review on the "light shining through the Saints"... in stained glass windows. It is lovely to meditate and think upon the Grace of God's Love. tenderly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

I appreciate your review on the Light shining through the stained glass windows of the Saints in vivid colors of red and blue... green and purple in Rainbow hues.
gently, Pat

[.]

Yes, I can imagine the beauty of those stained glasses....it certainly reflects different hues on the other side and it has such an old world charm in it! I so love your comments on it....

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Dreamer... I love your poetic review... it brings the memories closer as we approach the Season of Blessings. gently, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

dearest Gene... I was raised on the "writings" of the Bible. It seems to be more meaningful as the years go by. My Mother Edith worked in a Religious Publishing Organization associated with our Religion.
They often used her as a 'Model" in many of their Publications. My Mom passed at age 58 too soon of Cancer. The other Models in the photo worked there also and were friends of our Church family. Only God knows who the Saints will be "when we gather at the River". p.s. My Mother did study "Home Nursing" diligently. tenderly, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

i too find deeper and deeper relevance in reading the Bible as the days and years go by .. God's word stands all tests doesn't it!?

[Einstein Noodle]

read it again Pat .. did you know that "Rosary" means "rose garden"? ;)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Gene... I appreciate so much... to share that "Rosary" means "Rose Garden". The Head Nurse where Roger receives Dialysis for four years now... recently gave me a beautiful Rosary (which I love). They are my Prayer beads. I am an integral part of many Religions (unless they are a Cult of sorts). My Religion is "The Holy Spirit" which I definitely "feel" and know it's presence in my Life. We can be an Instrument of God's Peace... in any ways. I have been blessed with "Forgiveness" more than once. We do feel empathy for those who do not realize that we only need to be sincere and learn from our mistakes in word and deed. This is my Prayer. gently, Pat
