Dear Sisters & Brothers,I came across this prayer to the Holy Spirit some time ago. As we celebrate the gift of the Spirit given to the disciples on Pentecost, I share it with you in the hope that it may help you to remember to pray to the Holy Spirit each day.With my love,Fr. BrianA Prayer for Wisdom and Revelation from the Holy SpiritDear God, I come before you in humility and reverence, seeking the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. Your Word reminds us that if we lack wisdom, we should ask, and you will generously provide it. Today, I earnestly seek that wisdom, knowing that it is a gift from your loving and gracious hand.Holy Spirit, Divine Counselor, and Source of all wisdom, I invite your presence into my heart and mind. Enlighten my understanding, that I may discern your will in all things. Grant me clarity and insight as I navigate the challenges and decisions of life.Help me to see the world through your eyes, to understand the hearts of others, and to discern the path of righteousness. Fill me with discernment to recognize truth from falsehood, wisdom to make sound choices, and the courage to act in accordance with your guidance.Lord, grant me the wisdom to be patient in trials, to be understanding in conflicts, and to be a source of peace and love in all my interactions. May your wisdom flow through me to bless others and bring glory to your name.I surrender my own understanding and lean not on my own understanding but on your infinite wisdom. I trust that you will direct my steps and order my life according to your perfect plan. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your promise to guide and teach me. I receive your wisdom with an open heart and a grateful spirit. I offer this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen. ... See MoreSee Less

“Jesus answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you…” (Acts of the Apostles, ch. 1)Dear Friends,Happy Feast of the Ascension! As I reflect on the story of Jesus’ return to the Father, I find myself relating to the disciples who must have been amazed at the glory of the situation. But if they were like me, they would be asking themselves, “What now?”I am a planner and try to be two steps ahead of any situation so I can do my best job and get things done efficiently. The Ascension would have thrown me for a loop. Jesus was sure and certain in his proclamation of God's Kingdom and what needed to be done to make that Kingdom come about. The stories of his healing ministry and the final triumph of the Resurrection over death and evil and injustice and division shows forth not the political, earthly victory, but the greater victory of Eternal Life.But now he is giving the direction to his followers that the Holy Spirit will be leading the charge and using them to be the means to that victory being made real in people's lives not only back then, but in every age and every time and place!I believe he is telling us not to worry so much about how things will work out, but to live each moment in the care of the Holy Spirit, knowing that things have already been worked out. Trust, confidence, joy, surrender should be the template, not control and power and worry!As we continue to live in the Holy Spirit's timeline and planning, let us be like our ancestors and live a moment at a time, knowing that in Jesus, the valley of our tears becomes the mountain of Glory!Sincerely, with love,Fr. Tim ... See MoreSee Less
