Court Bishop McDonnell #1403
Dear Sisters,
As I write this letter, the winds outside have been howling for several
days now. Wind, itself, is invisible; we hear and see it’s effects and
power. I am reminded of our invisible but powerful Triune God.
What does the Bible say about wind? Here are just a few references
that I especially like:
Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the
ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man be-
came a living creature.
Acts 2:1-4 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all to-
gether in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound
like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were
sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on
each one of them. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began
to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Mark 4:39 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the
sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great
calm.
I’ve been visualizing the power of God; Father, Son and Spirit as all
of my senses embrace the wind. Enjoy the Holiness of the wind!
Happy St. Patrick’s and St. Joseph’s Day! Happy Daylight Savings
Time and Spring, but especially ,may we all have a Holy and Blessed
Easter Season!
