The Fire Within Me

 I cower in my house

Afraid to acknowledge my faith

I sowed a tiny crucifix and a miraculous medal in the ligning of my coat

The whispering wind tells a tale of an old man  taken to the hospital 

He was beaten nearly half to death for praying the rosary in public

I knelt down and cried 

Is that the extent of my devotion to Christ?

In my shame, I walk the beaten path, rosary in hand asking for Our Lady's intercession

I pray in silence, but I do it in public

Maybe the fire will grow in me and the faithful rise up to  set fire to the world
