Heavenly Inspiration

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.
