A clean heart, a new spirit, a new life

With the Solemnity of Pentecost, we are assured that God in the Holy Spirit is always with us, intervening always in our lives to lead us to where we should be in our definitive life, i.e., to be truly God’s image and likeness, sharers of his divine life and nature.

- Fr. Roy Cimagala

It would just really depend on us on how receptive and docile we are with the action of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The ball is in our court. And the least thing we can do is to make as our own this prayer suggested to us by the Church: “Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.”

We should repeat this prayer frequently on a daily basis if only to protect ourselves from our strong tendency to ignore the indispensable role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. It is the Holy Spirit who will give us a clean heart, a new spirit and a new life.
