Psalm
104:20 is the basis of the “Come Holy Spirit” prayer of the Cursillo movement.
“Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the faithful and kindle in us the fire
of your love. Send forth your Spirit and we shall be created and you shall
renew the face of the earth…” The Spirit filled community (aka the church in
all its various forms) is created by the coming of the Holy Spirit to renew
whatever portion of the face of the earth on which it is planted. That means
the heart kindled with love seeks to refresh the weary with refuge and replenish
the hungry with good things even as we care for “all creatures great and small”
and the habitats that support them. So the song we sing to the Lord as long as
we live is best expressed when the words of our mouth are confirmed by the work
of our hands.
