Happy Belated Pentecost to you!

Well, yes it's been a full week since I posted last.  So much has happened and now it's Wednesday afternoon.  Well, of course, I love the Feast of Pentecost.  Pentecost is a real celebration for me even if I don't totally grasp the Spirit theology.  I only know for certain that the Father & Son's Love brings the Holy Spirit and the effect is electrifying if the person is open to it.

The effect of the Holy Spirit on the Bride of Christ is everlasting.  I personally think that the Holy Spirit has "driven" me to seek the Lord more.  I surrender to His influence and I am reaping the awesome harvest.  One of the interesting things that happened to me on Pentecost Sunday is to visit a small group of teenagers who are trying to band together to worship God.  They are my parish's Youth Council and they were recapping next year's schedule.  One of the activities they are definitely going to is the Diocesan Holy Hour that I wrote about in another blog.  It's not always easy to start and sustain a new group but I think that the Holy Spirit will open the eyes of a lot young people and we will grow.

During the Homily, my Deacon admitted that he didn't always "hear" the Spirit when he was a young father.  He has grown in his faith enough that he recognizes the Signs by the side of the road.  "Take this road" and "Come follow Me" are messages that we have heard and that I pray the whole world will listen to.  Rest assured that the Spirit is always speaking to you.  Say YES to Him always.

God bless you Reader,
Love and Peace, Sylvia
