An Air Of Prayer

Robert Joseph Mattingly 1957 (Brookline, Massachusetts)

Free verse
Angels and Saints beathe prayer,
When they are in Heaven
Like us humans do air,
Here 24/7.

More prayers we send above
Keeps the Holy alive.
What helps us breathe Christ love,
When His Saint's prayers arrive.

The angels have been there
Always sending down love
And every single prayer,
They give to Christ above.

God's Heaven is choking
By the shortage of prayer
And I am not joking
From one who gives them air.

About this poem

Each prayer in heaven is like air on earth.
