"The Holy Spirit makes us bold and urges us to contemplate God’s glory in our daily life and work. It spurs us to experience the mystery of Christ, to make the Word resound in our whole life, in the certainty that he will always have something new to say; he helps us to be ever committed despite our fear of failure, to face dangers and overcome the barriers that separate cultures in order to proclaim the Gospel, to work tirelessly for the continuous renewal of the Church without setting ourselves up as judges of our brothers and sisters." (John Paul II ) To what extent are these movements of the Holy Spirit true in our lives? To what extent do we want or are open to these movements of the Holy Spirit? As we prepare for the celebration of Pentecost, ask the Holy Spirit to stir in us the gifts he desires to give us and for us to use. Pray the Novena to the Holy Spirit that I posted a few days ago.
