Veni, Sancte Spiritus

Come Holy Spirit, Renew the Face of the Earth!
Acts 2:1-11~~~Psalm 104~~~Cor. 12:3b-7,12-13~~~John 20:19-23

The Holy Spirit (he) will glorify me (Jesus) because he will take
what is mine and declare it to you.
Whatever comes to us from the Holy Spirit comes from the Father,
because they are all one in the same.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of us, your faithful,
and kindle in us the fire of your love.
The Spirit comes as tongues of fire, the breath of Jesus, and strong driving wind.
The Spirit comes with the unseen
power of God the Father and the undying love of the Son.
The Spirit brings spiritual gifts to each individual for some benefit.

Do you know your gifts?
Are you using your gifts to benefit someone else? 
Are you denying your gifts?
Are you misusing your gifts?

If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.
If we live in the Spirit we too bear the fruit of the Spirit...
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience,
Kindness, Generosity, Faithfulness,
Gentleness, and Self-Control.

Even though we are many we are one body, just as a body is one
though it has many parts. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body.
We were all given to drink of one Spirit.

Locked doors cannot keep the Holy Spirit from entering, but a closed locked heart
can deflect the realization of the gifts of the Spirit.
May the embers in the bottom of your heart be fanned into vibrant
flames for the Lord today. We are anointed in the Spirit today and sent forth...
We cannot stay behind closed locked doors.

Come Holy Spirit renew the face of the earth.
Instill in our hearts the desire to make visible the fruit of your Spirit.
Always giving credit to the one who sends down the Spirit.

Though many we are one body in Christ and we come to do your will.
Receive the Holy Spirit...
Peace be with you!
