Today is the feast of Pentecost,
⁣
“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.”
⁣
This prayer invokes the Holy Spirit to come down upon just as the Spirit first descended on the apostles. As noted in the Nicene creed, the Spirit is the “giver of life.”
⁣
Take time today to pray that through the Holy Spirit, you can effectively use your gifts and talents to give life and purpose to others to help build up the Body of Christ.
⁣
Come Holy Spirit!
