Consecrated - St Catherine of Sienna

All has been consecrated.
The creatures in the forest know this,
The earth does, the seas do, the clouds know
as does the heart full of love.

Strange a priest would rob us of this knowledge
and then empower himself with the ability
to make holy
what already was.

St Catherine of Sienna  (1347 - 1380) Italy
Translated by Daniel Ladinsky
