Today we celebrate the feast of Pentecost! This marks the birth of the Church, as the Holy Spirit descends upon the disciples in the upper room. It is through the Holy Spirit that Christ continues to remain through the Church. It is through the Holy Spirit that the grace is available to the Church. It is through the Holy Spirit that conversions continue to happen everyday.
Today we celebrate the feast of Pentecost. A few weeks back, we talked about the Sacrament of Confirmation and touched a bit on the feast of Pentecost.
One of the most powerful prayers we can pray is the Come Holy Spirit prayer. As we let the Holy Spirit work in our lives, we can do incredible things by God’s grace; we just first need to let him in.
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
