There’s something exciting
about Pentecost –
something unpredictable,
something exciting.

A sense that
anything is possible.
A sense that
the Holy Ghost might just
move in mysterious ways
to influence minds
so that the seemingly impossible
happens.

A day for the Holy Ghost,
so often forgotten,
to be given His place.
A day for us all
to be filled to the brim
with Christian hope.
A day for
the awesome power
of the Holy Ghost
to be unleashed.

And so,
during this Octave of Pentecost,
I read the Mass readings
every morning
with an sense of anticipation,
I pray
for a very special intention
and I silently wonder,
“What will the Holy Ghost do
during this season of Pentecost?”
