Happy Pentecost Sunday! A day when we remember how the early Christians were gathered in one place, as we are today, and experienced the pouring out of the Holy Spirit. Let’s take a deep dive into the waters of the Holy Spirit and discover where it fits into our spiritual journey.
This is a quote from Fr. Hugh Barbour, a Norbertine Priest who contributes to Catholic Answers. “Our spiritual life from beginning to end, and indeed into the life to come, is THE WORK OF GOD. He moves us in every way that bears on our salvation and sanctification; his grace precedes, accompanies, and perfects all of it.” It’s as if we float along in the waters of the Holy Spirit. We are God’s creation and therefore A work of God. But that is only the beginning. Unlike a statue or a painting, we evolve and grow. And with the help of the Holy Spirit we become a work of art, the masterpiece that God intended us to be.
