GOOD NExf,/S Actsz:r-rr/r Cor,:z.3b-7,L2-L3o(Rom8:8-rTJnzo:r9-z3orJn14:15-16,z3b-z6 l'm in the minority when it comes to coffee. To me, it's foul-tasting darkcolored water, but to most Americans it's the best-tasting stuff on earth' Most Americans depend on their morning cup of joe to start their day: "l'm just not myself until I have my morning coffee." They can't imagine going a day without it. Honestly, the same could be said of the Holy Spirit. Today on pentecost we remember and celebrate the first gift of the Spirit to the disciples, but it's also a day to say thank you for that incredible ongoing gift in our daily lives. Saint Paul writes, "No one can say 'Jesus is Lord' except by the Holy Spirit'" True-we can't proclaim iesus as Lord without the Spirit, but we also can't do much of anything without the grace of the Holy Spirit' We can't love, can't forgive, can't survive hardship, can't heal-without the ongoing moveme;t of the Spirit. 5o we can say about the Spirit what we say about our morning java-"l'm just not myself without it." Saint Paul writes that we are all given to drink of the same Spirit' lt's an intriguing image-how do you "drink" the Spirit?-but a most approPriate one as we understand how energizing, motivating, and life-giving the Holy Spirit is. Today, let's ask the Spirit to rush into those places in our lives that need to be revived, those areas of our hearts that are weary and worn. And when sipping your coffee, imagine drinking in the Holy Spirit-and thank God for this most amazing gift. Jane I Eske r su ndayb ulleti n @ li g uori. org

know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with inexpressible groanings." I'd be careful not to interpret this passage too narrowly and limit its application only to the gift of speaking in tongues. In fact, its application is much broader and can actually be applied to all Christian prayer. When it comes to praying effectively, all of us can use some extra help. We get that help from the Holy Spirit. Scripture scholar Joseph A. Fitzmayer, SJ, maintains that the Holy Spirit actually plays an active

So, when we pray, the Holy Spirit is actually present to us and makes up for what we are lacking in our prayer due to our own human weakness.

The first ever novena (9 day prayer) was to the Holy Spirit from Ascension Thursday to Pentecost.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful. And kindle in them the fire of your love. Send fo(h your Spirit and they shall be created. And you will renew the face of the earth. Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit you have taught the hearts of your faithful. ln the same Spirit help us to relish what is right and always rejoice in your consolation. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
