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

“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control” -  2 Tim 1:7 

“‘And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.’ And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness”- Acts 4:29-31

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?
