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

“Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.” - John 16:7 

“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.” - John 16:13-14

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?
