Getting Ready to Pray                     

Two weeks from this Sunday is the great celebration of Pentecost. We are preparing to be more available to the promptings of that Spirit which comforts, protects, guides, and encourages the fuller experience of who each of us is. We prepare to celebrate the Eucharist by living more faithfully our having been baptized in that same Spirit. We are invited to live in hope so distinctly that people will ask us for an explanation.         
             

Some Thoughts                     

We pray as well so that the Spirit who comforted Jesus in his personal sufferings might do the same within us. Our doing good things will not always be successful or received well by others. We are praying to be more bold in our revealing the Good Word.
