Holy Spirit Lights the Path

6/7/2020

 
If you asked me at the start of 2020 what I hoped to accomplish, none of these items would have even been on my list.   More than two months into the U.S. wave of the pandemic and just two weeks into Public Masses resuming, we celebrated the Holy Spirit.  In the same way He ignited the hearts of those apostles, he has evidently been working in all of us.  
What does your list look like?

Since March I have:

  • Reached out to loved ones
  • Attended Daily Mass regularly (special videographer privilege)
  • Rolled up my sleeves to be a servant every day
  • Acted with Compassion (not easy for me)
  • Prayed regularly
  • Embraced technology 
  • Drove to the doorsteps of our teens
  • Grown to appreciate a balance in my daily routine rather than all work
  • Developed an understanding for how people in fear react
  • Perfected my Grilled Chicken
​
I would still be in my old routine if not for the startling impact of the Holy Spirit.  Praise God that I got my gifts in the Sacrament of Confirmation.  Today, each gift is on display in my life, a little brighter than before.  Use yours to get yourself and others on His Path.  This is not the new normal, this is what the Holy Spirit has been leading us to for thousands of years.
