The Ecstasy of St. Aloysius  (21st June 2026, Feast of St Aloysius) by
J.McTaggart

O how the cloud descends upon, a waiting open mind
dissolving ego, human strength and will of every kind
embraced in Love dropped from above, a boy kneels on his floor
while a strong and tender presence knocks, upon a mental door.

And O the joy when one forgets the human mortal realm
surrounded by a Love and Force which gently takes the helm
an Angel swirling,  deep in prayer his face lights up with glee
a Peace, a Love,  enveloping, where humans' minds can't be.

O the moment thoughts are burnt and all that's left is God
a portal opens to the Love, where feet of Angels trod
no thoughts remain to block the sight, no mortal dream to see,
but only endless Light and Love and perfect harmony.
