REFLECTION FOR PENTECOST
Pentecost is the moment in which Jesus “passes the mantle” on to us. Pentecost is a gift, but it is also a preparation, an empowering, for the work ahead. We will encounter many people whom we would not naturally be able to love. We will confront many aspects of ourselves that we would rather deny than heal. But, we do not have to deal with these issues alone. The gift of the Spirit empowers us to find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems. The Spirit fills us with the love of Christ and enables us to reach out even to our enemies. And the Spirit reveals what needs to change in us, and brings God’s healing and transforming grace into our lives. What an amazing gift this is! (Sacredise)
