Pentecost - Poem
National Catholic Reporter, Sept 14, 2001 by Patricia Schnapp
In the upper room Pentecostal wind swirled like a tornado of grace and fiery tongues burned language into stutterers. O Spirit, stir our passion again! Light wildfires and spin them past our tame intentions. Huff and puff till you blow down the shutters we hide in, scarred by earlier zests, more cowardly and cynical than once upon a time when we inhaled your fire and gulped your windstorms like tap water and laughed at those who counseled caution.
--Sr. Patricia Schnapp, RSM Adrian, Mich.
