May 15: Day by Day with Father Bill
THE SECOND DAY OF OUR NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
-from Sister Miriam of the Holy Spirit, The Wind of Pentecost
Zephyr and gentle breeze they say You
and so You are in Your domain,
But if it please You, God, I pray You
possess me as a hurricane.
-from the Gospel of John
On the day before he was to suffer, on the night of the Last Supper, Jesus said to his disciples, “The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures, but I will tell you clearly about the Father. On that day you will ask in my name…”
TODAY’S PRAYER
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful family at St. Mary Parish and kindle in us the fire of your love. Enflame our hearts with a reverence for You, and guide us in discerning what it is You desire us to do in your Name. Accompany us on our Synodal Path. Give us Your Precious Gift of Wisdom, the grace of being able to see everything with the eyes and heart of God (Pope Francis). Increase our longing for You and give us Your Heart. In the Holy Spirit’s Power, Amen.
