12 Reflections on Paintings for Faith Formation – Painting #8 “Cosmic Dance and Fellowship”, and Reflection #8 “Cosmic Dance and Fellowship”.

Cosmic Dance and Fellowship

The one who made victory over the world,

re-created the world by His divine dance.

The master of the universe renewed everything on earth.

The elements are under His command,

He breathes out the divine spirit,

He is the spring of living water,

He ablaze the world with His fire of love.

He transcends the space and time,

He is ever present in all times and everywhere.

He is the table of fellowship, sharing His ultimate love,

Giving himself and sharing his body and blood,

So that the world may have life in abundance.

The universe is the dance of the Divine,

We are within its rhythm, partaking in the divine dance.
