The Endless, Glorious Presence of the Holy Spirit, Sophia
It is Thursday of the first week of our new priest, Mother Rosean! The Holy Spirit so delighted in her being called by our community, so delighted in her answer and her ordination, so delighted her, so delighted us! Can we hold on to the miraculous mystery of Grace as we go through everyday life this week?! Can we consider Mother Rosean’s ordination and the swirling of the Holy Spirit another occurrence of Pentecost?
Pentecost: Harvest Festival
Suddenly a rushing, rushing
shook the house where we were sitting
all together, waiting, praying
for the coming of the Spirit.
Wind and Fire leaped around us,
set our hearts ablaze and fearless,
danced us down into the streets
where Jews of every nation, tongue
had journeyed to Jerusalem
to celebrate the harvest feast.
Like autumn leaves blown by wind,
these children of the Exodus
swept around us, asked, amazed:
“What can this mean?” as we, consumed,
burned the ancient Babel tower,
harvested God’s holy people,
brought the flaming Word to all the world.
Incarnation by Irene Zimmerman (from Acts 2:1-13)
Have a Blessed Day, unique and true.
