a small tongue of fire
And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind
coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them — Acts ii. 1-3.
the liturgical color of the day is red
Sunday, 31 May was the first Sunday, here, after covid-19 quarantine, that public celebration of Mass could occur. The Apostles and Mary were in hiding, after the Ascension of Jesus. And on this day, the Holy Spirit came to fortify them.The re-opening of the Catholic churches were accompanied by guidelines for sanitation. One was the wearing of facial coverings, most people wore ones that looked like surgical masks. The guidelines were not very well adhered to at St. Casimir.
In Cleveland, it was an odd day. The day before, a protest against police brutality became a riot, downtown. Downtown was now under curfew, except for four hours of morning clean-up.
