Pentecost

Think of your favorite book 

Your favorite song 

Your favorite poem 

Your favorite picture 

All of these were inspired 

The artist, the authors, the musicians 

Were all inspired by the Holy Spirit, who blows where he will

Think of  when you are inspired to call someone, or visit someone you haven’t seen or heard from in awhile. 

That is the Holy Spirit blowing through your heart and mind,

Inspiring you to get a hold of them. 

The Holy Spirit is subtle;

He does not blow like a Tornado;

More like a whisper. 

So in order to hear and grasp the inspirations and calling of the Holy Spirit;

One must have a calm and docile spirit themselves. 

But so often, our desires, our wants, our passions and our sins are so loud that we cannot hear the Holy Spirit. 

There is the spirit of the world and the Spirit of the Lord. 

Which one do we listen to ?

Mary heard the Spirit call her to be the mother of God 

Francis heard the Spirit call him to sell everything you have and give it to the poor 

Mother Teresa, heard the Spirit call her to serve the poorest of the poor. 

The word, “Inspiration “ means to be “in the Spirit.”

Therefore If one lives for the pleasures of the flesh,

One will never be “inspired.”
