Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.
As Abba God has sent me, so I send you.”
When he had said this, he breathed on them
and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
—John 20.21-22
This miracle, breath:
when air becomes flesh,
spirit becomes body.
Now we are the body,
and Christ our breath, our spirit.
Spirit of peace,
untroubled by the threats of the world.
Body of Christ,
sent in power to love and heal and forgive,
Christ breathing, eternally, in us.
