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.

Daily Scripture

 “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places… take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.” - Ephesians 6:11–12, 17–18a

Daily Reflections

  • Which phrase in Romans 12:12 is hardest for me right now: rejoice, be patient, or be constant? Why?

  • What “tribulation” (pressure, delay, disappointment, uncertainty) am I currently facing, and how am I allowing it to positively shape my prayer life? How have you noticed your prayer life changing and how can you see it as a deepening of your relationship with God? 

  • Elena believed “Pentecost is not over.” Where have I quietly assumed God is no longer doing “that kind” of work, in the Church, or in me?
