+THE SPIRIT MOVES WHERE IT WILLS
It is the day before Pentecost, a day of prayer to ask our loving God for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit on each and all of our lives, on our Church and the world we live in.
We, like Peter in our gospel, want to map out the lives of others but it is more than enough for any of us to simply follow Jesus. Paul didn’t expect to spend the last years of his life in prison but this is where the Spirit led him. He remained there a full two years, receiving all who came to him, proclaiming to them the Kingdom of God.
Wherever we are, whatever we may be called upon to do, we are to be messengers of God’s very own divine life if we are true to the Spirit that comes daily to live in our hearts. May this be a day of prayer for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit on each of us and on all of the human family.
(Acts 28:16-20, 30-31; John 21:20-25)
