Pentecost

They had all met in one room.
When they heard what sounded like a powerful wind.
What they heard would for all time free us from the tomb.
Fear and doubt now and for ever pinned.
Something appeared that seemed like tongues of fire.
These separated and came to rest on the head of each of them.
Thus fortelling the building of many a quire.
Their witness no longer would be dumb.
My mind depressed , I thought on Cardinal Mercier’s prayer.
Ponder your soul , the temple  of the Holy Spirit.
Thus we are comforted , layered by layer upon layer.
Enveloped , not alone, sustained by this spirit.
Enlighten me , guide me.
Strengthen me, console me
………
Guide, enlighten me
Strengthen , console me
In Holy Spirit
…….
See Acts 2: 1-11
