Living Our Faith
Today we celebrate the wonderful gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus sent us the Spirit to guide us, show us the way and to strengthen us. But how often, besides today, do we think about him? As the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit is always with us and working in us. He is always actively seeking ways to help each of us--no matter who we are--to grow closer to God and gain eternal life. God gives us everything we need to be with him, including the Holy Spirit to help us in our everyday lives. Holy Spirit, come into my heart each day and help me grow closer to God.
Viviendo Nuestra Fe
Hoy celebramos el maravilloso regalo del Espíritu Santo. Jesús nuestro Señor envió al Espíritu Santo para guiarnos, para mostrarnos el camino, y para fortalecernos en la jornada. Pero, aparte de hoy, ¿cuantas veces pensamos en El? Como la tercera persona de la Santísima Trinidad, el Espíritu Santo siempre esta cerca y trabajando en nosotros. Siempre esta tratando de ayudarnos—no importa quienes somos—a crecer mas cerca a Dios y obtener la vida eterna. Dios nos ha dado todo lo que necesitamos para llegar a El, hasta el Espíritu Santo para ayudarnos cada día de nuestras vidas. Espíritu Santo, habita en mi corazón y ayúdame acércame mas a Dios.
