Made Ready for Pentecost



Sorrow hollows like a powerful river

Pain carves like a sharp knife

Grief pounds like hands kneading dough

We are made ready by suffering accepted.

Come, emptied and carved out

Kneaded and softened

Gather together in one desire

And summon the Fire of Heaven Drawn by our supplication

To purify us in our sorrow

To fill what has been hollowed

To conduct those who will follow The Holy Spirit Comes!

Mother Clare, CFR
