JUNE 9, 2019  SOLEMNITY OF PENTECOST

Reflecting on God’s Word In the Middle Ages, when science seemed to be stepsister to the arts, people thought that phlogiston was what made something burnable. The more phlogiston, the more readily flammable was the way they understood physics’ inner workings. It explained why rocks did not burn and why straw readily did. Though phlogiston has long been shelved, its theory is not so far removed from how the Spirit of God burns in our lives, nor is it far from the gifts that God’s Spirit sets aflame in us. If some effort of ours glows with light and heat, it may be a sign of much Spirit, sort of like phlogiston. On the other hand, if in our effort to shine there’s not even a spark, it’s quite likely that that is not where the Spirit has settled into us. It might be better to pay attention then to some other aspect of life. The struggle is to make sure that our imagined passion and where the Spirit of God wants us to be are one and the same so that the former does not cause us to stray from the latter. How does anyone know if they are where they should be? St. Paul says that the Spirit gives Living God’s Word each of us our own dose of divine giftedness, our own spark with which to shine, but it’s not given to us for our As we go through life, we need to find out where the Spirit wants own glory or fun or feel-good self-image but for the good us to be. Often, however, it’s not the same as where we would like of others, for the community, for building up life. John’s to be, or think we should be. It may be that at such times we’re wrestling with the very Spirit of God. Gospel suggests one other such test—whether or not Copyright © 2012, World Library Publications.

In your quest for love, don't lose yourself along the way. While navigating through the dating scene, every woman begins to wonder: How do I know Pray for when a guy really loves me? Am I being too picky? Do I even deserve all who suffer illness, pain and grief: love? Is my relationship worth keeping? Is love worth the risk? Are any Brianna Pescitelli decent guys left? Single women often feel left alone to find answers to and for the repose of all who have recently died: their deep questions about love and intimacy.
