Spiritual springtime blooms
With God’s sweet consolations,
As the holy breeze of the Spirit
Caresses our vine branches.
Spiritual summertime ripens with
The delicious fruit of the Spirit,
Bringing to our hungry world
God’s immeasurable love.
Spiritual autumn is a time to
Fall, on our knees in humility,
Understanding that death --
And resurrection -- are nearer.
Spiritual winter brings blessings,
Snowflakes both red and white,
Nourishing our needy souls with
Divine Mercy in the dark night.
Then, behold, the resurrection,
As spiritual springtime returns --
Yet sweeter -- and each year we
Spiral higher up towards Heaven.
