Shakespeare and the Fading of the Catholic World | Word On Fire

Last week the world marked the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare, the greatest writer in the English language. Whatever his personal religious commitments, the great poet, throughout his work, was indeed mourning the loss of something that came apart in the sixteenth century—something beautiful and something worth putting back together.

The Heaven of Your Heart

Come blessed Spirit
Of my Jesus.
Guide me for Truth’s sake.

Lead me,
According to Your Promises,
To the streams of Mercy,
Following with the Blood and Water.

In this Living Font,
The Heaven of Your Heart,
May heart my sing,
My spirit soar,
And my face shine.
