“Lord send out your Spirit and renew the face of the earth. ” Happy Pentecost Sunday and Praise God for the Holy Spirit, our advocate. Isn’t it amazing how the Holy Spirit works in our daily lives, changing everything! Sometimes it is gentle push and sometimes it shakes us up, but when we allow the Holy Spirit to move within us, the change is always good.
The more we are open and receptive, the easier it is to recognize those God winks in our lives. Life is not always easy, but when we trust, things do work out just as the Lord planned. That is the key you know, as the Lord planned and not as we may have planned.
As my mom continues to fight her battle with cancer, I am reminded that the Lord does not always give us what we want, but He does give us what we need and we need the Holy Spirit. We can all use a bit more joy and charity in our lives. Holy Spirit grant us the grace and wisdom this week to be a bit more kind, generous, faithful and forgiving.
I pray that you will allow the Holy Spirit to breathe on you and move through you. As I continue to unite my own sufferings with the Lord, I am grateful for all the blessings He has given to me.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
fill me with life anew,
that I may love the way you love,
and do what you would do.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until my will is one with yours,
to do and to endure.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
so shall I never die,
but live with you the perfect life
for all eternity.
