Children can teach us how to open our hearts to the Lord!  They are filled with the Holy Spirit.  So are we!  

What does that mean, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit that we received at our Baptism and our Confirmation?  It means to live Jesus, to believe that Jesus Christ is Son of God, is Lord and Savior. 

  

Peter Maurin said, “The Holy Spirit will direct our lives to do God’s will if we allow it.”

This poem may give us some perspective:

“Alone we are only a spark,
But in the spirit we are a fire.

Alone we are only a string,
But in the spirit we are a lyre.

Alone we are only an anthill,
But in the spirit we are a mountain.

Alone we are only a drop,
But in the spirit we are a fountain.

Alone we are only a feather,
But in the spirit we are a wing.

Alone we are only a beggar,
But in the spirit we are a king”.

(Amado Nervo)

Today may we joyfully allow the Holy Spirit to fill us and guide us, today and every today.

For a few minutes, in silence, talk to Jesus about the Holy Spirit in your life.

May God Be Praised!
