Stephen filled with the Holy Spirit
Saw Jesus standing at God’s right hand.
We are listened to whatever our merit.
And whatever our land.I am looking at Zurbaran’s portrait of St Francis.
How can we match his ecstasy.

Leading us from the abyss.

To him , this was no fantasy .

As I watched him surrender everything.

I too wondered if this was not the route to happiness.

Prayer could take wing.

Leading to greater tenderness.

I left the exhibition on St Francis’s art.

Strangely moved and struck to the heart.
