Fear
locked the door
(just as it likes to do).
But true love came in anyway,
bringing peace (God’s) within its wounds.
Peace and joy went all around, joy and peace!
He breathed upon them and sent them
everywhere, all earth’s corners,
speaking his Word
of love, not
 fear.

Jesus,
 we too cry out.

Veni Sanctae Spiritus.

Send your Holy Spirit
of life and love
to us and
hurl
us
out
to all
corners
  of creation.

Like fire blazing in the wind,
Like God blazing within
all creation,
Christ
is

not just in the upper room,
in one place and
time,

but everywhere.

 Christ,

we
welcome
your Spirit in us.
Set a fire in our hearts.

Make us fierce with your love
and send us to the
ends of the
 earth.
