Come, Holy Spirit
For we Catholics, Easter is not a one-day event but a 50-day season of celebration! Death has been defeated by the God who went down into the muck of sin and despair and arose victoriously!
This week we celebrate Pentecost and the unleashing of the Holy Spirit upon the Church!
At Pentecost, the Paschal Mystery was complete and the disciples were ready to become apostles and evangelize to the ends of the earth. We are called to participate in this mission and be renewed by the Holy Spirit!
Check out this video reflection on Pentecost by Bobby Angel, Fellow of Parish Life and Renewal at the Word on Fire Institute:
"Source of peace and light, come and enlighten me. I am hungry, come and feed me. I am poor, come and enrich me. Holy Spirit, I abandon myself to you."
The Fruit of the Spirit
"The fruit of the Spirit is love, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." (Gal 5).
Pray "Come, Holy Spirit" this week.
Ask for an increase in the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
How is God asking you to radiate the Holy Spirit to those in your life?
