OPENING PRAYER SERIES
Pentecost Sunday
THE HOLY SPIRIT |
OPENING PRAYER
The Opening Prayer of the
Mass for Pentecost Sunday reads as follows:
Let
us pray
(that
the Spirit will work through our lives to bring Christ to the world)
God
our Father,
let the
Spirit You sent on Your church
to
begin the teaching of the gospel
continue
to work in the world through the heart of all who believe.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
In making this prayer tangible for my life during this week, the
following reflection questions emerged:
1. How does the Spirit work in my life?
2. How will I bring Christ to the world this week?
3. What commitment am I prepared to make to bring Christ to my
world- family, friends, colleagues,
parishioners, people I meet at shopping centre?
4. Do I know my faith adequately to be able to teach the gospel to
one other person? If not, what steps might I take to change this?
6. What areas in my life has the risen Christ renewed during
Eastertide and how might the Spirit assist you to continue this renewal for the
remainder of the year?
7. How might I live in the power of the Holy Spirit in my life?
This feast not only marks
the 50 days of Easter and the closing of Eastertide as a liturgical season, but
also the birth of the Church. As we celebrate the feast of Pentecost, let
us be filled and renewed by the Holy Spirit.
Happy Birthday to all
believers.
