Ascending Love


"God has gone up with a shout,
the Lord with the sound of a trumpet."

~ Psalm 47

I went to a confirmation of the daughter of friends today. It was a delightful celebration that reminded me of my own confirmation as it happened at the church I went to as a child. The archbishop was fabulous, teaching and preaching in an easy and yet challenging way. He had us laughing at our humanity and considering his deep words about living a life of faith at the same time.

Each of the children have now received the gifts of the Holy Spirit in a new way. We were reminded that next week is Pentecost and that we will be celebrating the coming of the Holy Spirit once again. In the Gospel today, Jesus opened the minds and hearts of the disciples to understand the Scriptures and to be prepared to what was coming in this great Gift. The response of the disciples was great joy as they worshiped him and the wonder of being able to continually bless God.

What role does the Holy Spirit play in your life as we approach this special feast day?

Peace,

Suzanne
