Pentecost and The Spirit Within Us
Every year at Pentecost we hear the familiar expressions; Come Holy Spirit, the gift of the Spirit, the outpouring of the Spirit, and the power of the Spirit. We are taught to believe in and reflect on the Spirit’s role in Christian faith. So, am I supposed to sit still at Pentecost and wait for something magical to take over or enter my soul, and then suddenly I will be able to put the Spirit’ power to work? I’m not sure how you feel, but I would like to know how I can experience this power more easily and put it to good use…
