Be the Fire!
by Nancy Schramm, osf
“Jesus breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’”
“Then there appeared on them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each of them. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit…”
These phrases shed a profound light on the deep meaning of this great Feast of Pentecost which we celebrate next Sunday. God’s Word always invites us to step into the scene, place ourselves right there, and listen and see, as if for the first time, what is happening to the people of Jesus’ time, but also to me and those of my time. Let us step forth!
