Pentecost

Prayer: Pentecost Sunday

Today we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit just as Jesus promised.

If we are honest, there is much about the Holy Spirit that is mystery. 

Today is not a day we try to define and understand, to be honest we spend way too much time doing this anyway, but instead today we echo the prayers of the disciples, "Come Spirit Come."

To help us do so, here is a prayer from Saint Augustine to guide us all. 

Breathe in me O Holy Spirit
that my thoughts may all be holy;
Act in me O Holy Spirit
that my works, too, may be holy;
Draw my heart O Holy Spirit
that I love but what is holy;
Strengthen me O Holy Spirit
to defend that is holy;
Guard me then O Holy Spirit
that I always may be holy.
