PRAYER CORNER
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
and in our souls take up Thy rest;
come with Thy grace and heavenly aid
to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
Have you ever gone to someone's house, been invited in,
but found no place to sit because the chairs or couch
were covered with stuff? You had no place to rest
because there was no room. This week, take time to pray
the words of this ancient hymn of Pentecost paying close
attention to the words where we ask the Holy Spirit to
"take up Thy rest" in our souls. Is there space for God to
take up His rest in you? What fills your heart these days?
Holy Spirit, help us see what we need to let go of to
make more room for you!

Holy Spirit, make my heart open to God's Word so that my
heart might be open to good, so that my heart might be
open to God's beauty every day. ~Pope Francis
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle
in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and
they shall be created. and You shall renew the face of the
earth. O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did
instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same
Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His
consolations. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
