       “I came to bring fire to the earth,and how I wish it were already kindled!”

      Luke 12:49

      (NRSV)

      For all those rich and poor,

      empty in spirit, pummeled of heart,

      who mark the hours

      of long inner night —

      a night this saint of the gutters traversed

      and overcame

      before you, and for you:

      May these pages reflect

      the light that overtook her

      one September day,

      plunging her, for love’s sake,

      into the dark

      homes and hearts of the poor.

      May her gentle, guiding light

      born of the heart of the Almighty

      be yours:

      A light that flies not from darkness —

      But ever towards it.
