Come Holy Spirit

The Singing Spirit

This particular Winter Park cathedral has a side door open. Did someone forget to lock up? 

I have a complete and utter fascination with church architecture. Especially religious looking older and historial type cathedrals. I am going to blame it on my parents. When I was a child, I was fortunate and blessed. I lived in Naples, Italy for three years. There are some very famous and incredibly fascinating cathedrals in Italy. I visited many of them.

• St Peter's Basilica in Rome
• Cattedrale di Pisa (Pisa)
• Basilicca di San Gioavanni in Rome
• Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence
• Duomo di Siena
• Amalfi Cathedral
• Naples Cathedral
• Cathedral of San Rufino in Assisi
• San Giorgio dei Greci in Venice
• Basilica di San Marco in Venice
• Cattedrale di San Lorenzo in Genoa
• Verona Cathedral
• Duomo in Orvieto
• Basilica di San Maggiore in Verona

This Italian cathedral experience spoiled me.

Today, I visit churches as often as I have the time. I excite myself tremendously when I drive past a church I have not yet visited.

I don't care to visit every church it has to speak to me. I am attracted to older, traditional, style churches. It's all about the architecture.  If it gets my attention I will stop to see IF I can get inside. Once inside I will head straight for the Nave or sanctuary. I will head for the altar because many times that is where the pianos can be found.  

Knowles Memorial Chapel invited me in on one dark and stormy 2017 night.

Dark, yes, Stormy....not exactly...rainy a bit , but not stormy.

The piano was covered. By family was with me. As is my custom, I sat down after uncovering the piano and opening the lid. I began to play as I felt the leading. Composing spontaneously is my joy. I began to release my heart of passion, desire and worship....inviting the infilling of the Holy Spirit.

During one of our first conversations, the Rector of Saint Barnabas Episcopal Church, Father Brian, mentioned hearing this song on Facebook and liking it. I started to play this song during the Eucharist and communion portion contemporary liturgy service. I added it to the Mystery of Faith project because I considered it an important part to my personal worship revival and renewal. To read more about this renewal....
