Lord, set our hearts on fire! … 20-May-2016

From the Desk of Father David

Dear Friends in Christ,

On this, the Feast of Pentecost, we remember the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and our receiving the Holy Spirit at our baptism.  Today we pause and ask the Lord Jesus to set our hearts on fire and those of our leaders, both Church and State, with Divine love.  A fire that would burn so brightly that it would dispel the darkness of our World, enabling conflicts to end, reconciliation in families, forgiveness to reign and compassion to increase.  Please pray with me for this to happen using the following prayer or your own prayer.

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Your love.  Send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created.  And You will renew the face of the earth.  Let us pray. 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 rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

In Christ’s love,

Fr. David
