“We beseech you, O Lord, to ignite our souls with love, faith and hope by the fire of your Holy Spirit. And may the wind of your Spirit so inspire our minds, that we may proclaim your gospel to others in words which they can understand.”
The Gelasian Sacramentary, 500
(the oldest prayerbook of the Western Church)
The fire and wind of the Holy Spirit — power we too often take for granted.
Thank You, Spirit of God, for Your power at work in and through me. May I put it to good use for Your glory.
