Reflection
As we await the Feast of Pentecost on Sunday, June 9th, we recall the experience of the Apostles as they moved from a place of fear to that of courage and faith. One moment they are locked inside a room praying because of confusion and fear, the next they are sharing God’s love in the streets, singing songs even in prison, and risking their lives for the sake of the Good News. Such conversion can only be attributed to the gift of the Holy Spirit they were given at the first Pentecost.
This is our story as well. We are given the gift to move from fear to love when we open our hearts to receive the Holy Spirit; when we pray to listen; when we seek God’s desire for us and our lives; when we humbly accept who we are and our need for God. God has declared us temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 16: 19-20), we carry this fire within us and we must tend it and share it less the flame die down or be squelched. How can you tend this flame of God’s Spirit that is within you?
