PRAYER
Lord, on this Pentecost Sunday, Move us by Your Holy Spirit.
Help us to be agents of Your
love to all people in a world
where there is much
division and hate.
Help us to be beacons of
hope in a world that is
sinking deeper into despair.
Help us to be agents of Your peace in a world that is torn apart by conflict and wars.
Amen
Pentecost Sunday
"Lord, send forth your spirit, and renew the face of the earth.”
Reflections by Fater Paul Beukes OMI
Pentecost is not just an historical event of the “birthday of the Church.” It is a current reality.
The exact same Holy Spirit that transformed the fearful apostles is already inside each one of us through our Baptism and Confirmation.
This week, let the Holy Spirit unlock the door of your heart. Allow that divine breath to heal a strained relationship, quiet your anxieties, and give you the courage to witness to God’s goodness in your home, your workplace, and our neighbourhood.
