The feast of Pentecost brings us to that moment when the Holy Spirit descended on those gathered in the upper room. The apostles and Mary, the mother of Jesus, are transformed by the wind of fire of the Holy Spirit. The fear that brought them to the locked room turns to a Spirit-filled relief and peace because they know that Jesus will always be with them.

The Holy Spirit breaks into our lives just at the right time: when we are lonely, lost, fearful, despairing, and uncertain. The Spirit prompts us to respond with confidence in God’s providence to the challenges that come our way. The Spirit nudges us when we can’t decide where we are supposed to be. The Spirit sets our hearts on fire when we are getting lukewarm in our life with God and one another. The Spirit is everywhere when we think we are nowhere. What a gift!

And speaking of gifts, the Holy Spirit imparts wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. These gifts enable us to live lives of virtue, and to respond to our call to be Spirit-filled followers of the Risen Christ. If we remaining open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we will become the disciples we are meant to be and that will lead to consolation and peace because we are doing God’s will.

So here’s your spiritual homework for the week ahead: 1. Give thanks to God for the gift of the Holy Spirit who is everywhere. 2. Pray to the Holy Spirit as you make decisions this week – especially the big decisions. 3. Ask the Spirit to light a fire in your soul so that you may set your world ablaze with love.

Come, Holy Spirit! Fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love!

Have a blessed week,
Msgr. Rob
