The vision

The slow and soaring beat of the great wings of the Seraphim as they hold themselves aloft before the throne of God and proclaim with mighty voices,

SANCTUS

QADOSH

HOLY

That vision comes to my mind as I think of today’s first reading (from the beginning of Isaiah 6) and of the powerful music inspired by it in Bach’s B Minor Mass.

SANCTUS
SANCTUS
SANCTUS
DOMINUS
DEUS
SABAOTH

The vision described in today’s first reading is the vision that impelled Isaiah to be one of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament.

May we ask the Lord Jesus Christ to give us the true spiritual experiences that will impel us to be powerful proclaimers of His truth in the world in which we live.
