As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ.
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.
Now the body is not a single part, but many. (1 Corinthians 12:12-14 NABRE)

Perhaps the most rewarding part of this blog, for me personally, has been a closer relationship with the Holy Spirit. Spending time each and every morning in quiet reflection and prayer has opened my heart to the whispers of the Spirit which are available to us. Led to write this blog by the Spirit. Led to share each day. And led to begin a new journey, I ask you to turn to the same Spirit who was Jesus' guide. Let the Spirit lead you.

Let the Spirit of God lead you to the will of God for your life, for your day, for each minute. Let him console you when you need comfort. Let him challenge you when you become complaisant. Let him fill you when you are thirsty. I truly believe that it is by our yielding to the Spirit that we find our role in Christ's body. It is by cooperating with the Spirit that we find strength and joy. It is by joining with the Spirit that we encounter the eternal in this temporal life. The Spirit of God is what binds us together. The Holy Spirit is unity itself.

Let us always believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, and who has spoken through the prophets.*


Today, I will pray for all who have joined me here, that the Lord will light your heart with his Spirit, that his gifts will abound in your heart, and that his fruits will ripen in you so that others may share in them. Amen.


Saint John Chrysostom, patron of orators, preachers, and speakers, pray for us.

Please continue to join your prayers with mine, for a daily minute of reflection. 

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:20) 

May our joining reflect our deep desire to have Jesus in our midst.
