This is a classic photo I took back in 2002 in the sacristy of St Joseph’s
Abbey in Spencer, a Trappist monastery
in Massachusetts. Just before Mass, one of the monks would light the incense on
Sundays and holy days, and the smoke fills in the whole place with an exquisite
smell that takes you literally to heaven. One can see Brother Robert, the
incense monk looking towards the missal on the counter, embraced with a thick
beam of rays created by the incense he had just prepared. The sunlight coming
through the windows add to this amazing effect.
Heavenly Father, embrace us with Your Light, and give us the inspiration we
need to illumine and inspire other
people, lift their spirits up and bring them closer to
You and Your Heavenly
Home.
