This is the Night: New Fire, Ancient Promises
On May 19th, we will light a fire in celebration of Pentecost, reminding us of the fire of the Holy Spirit that rested on the heads of the early believers and continues to light a fire of guidance and passion for each of us.
But more historically, fire is associated with the Easter Vigil service, which continues to grow in importance for our own practice in the Lutheran church. Again…a good opportunity for mystagogical reflection.
