PRAYER CORNER

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,

and in our souls take up Thy rest;

come with Thy grace and heavenly aid

to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.

Have you ever gone to someone's house, been invited in,

but found no place to sit because the chairs or couch

were covered with stuff? You had no place to rest

because there was no room. This week, take time to pray

the words of this ancient hymn of Pentecost paying close

attention to the words where we ask the Holy Spirit to

"take up Thy rest" in our souls. Is there space for God to

take up His rest in you? What fills your heart these days?

Holy Spirit, help us see what we need to let go of to

make more room for you!

Holy Spirit, make my heart open to God's Word so that my

heart might be open to good, so that my heart might be

open to God's beauty every day. ~Pope Francis

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle

in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and

they shall be created. and You shall renew the face of the

earth. O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did

instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same

Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His

consolations. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
