Pentecost is a time of new beginning. The Holy Spirit is wild and full of life leading us new ways and guiding our steps unto new paths. Each day is an invitation to begin again and to be a vessel of the Holy Spirit.
In early May I had the opportunity to be in Assisi. I sat in prayer gazing upon the church Francis rebuilt and listened to the Holy Spirit. This is the simple prayer which arose in me.
Begin
Begin again
Your invitation, O Holy Spirit
to be rooted in life in Christ.
Begin
Begin again
My daily invitation
as one rooted in Christ.
Begin
Begin again
Our communal invitation
as a universal family.
Begin
Begin again
An invitation
to be a disciple
to be brave and to trust
to be one who lives the gospel
Begin
Begin again
An invitation
to take a step
trusting you O Holy Spirit are leading.
Amen.
May the gift of the Holy Spirit which is a gift for each of us inspire and encourage us to begin again today and in each day of this summer.
