FAREWELL TO EASTER
For these 50 days of Easter it was given for us to live in the Paschal Joy, much as those early followers of Jesus did in those post-resurrection days. And then comes the "last and great" day of Easter, Pentecost, and with it our return into the real time of this world. (In the church year we call it Ordinary Time.)
COME, HOLY SPIRIT, FILL OUR LIVES AND CREATE OUR WORLD ANEW! MAY THERE BE MANY NEW PENTECOSTS!
As we move from Easter time into Ordinary Time, may we allow the life of the Holy Spirit to use us to birth a new Church in ever new and exciting ways. The great gift of Easter for the world is the Risen Christ; the great gift of Pentecost is the Spirit of that Risen Christ who comes ever anew to make each of us a temple, a dwelling, a church for the purposes of God in the world of today. As much today as 33 A.D. we need new Pentecosts, new apostles, new disciples, new gospel writers, new everything for the service of God in the world. Open your life daily to that Holy Spirit's power and see what great things God can accomplish through you!
