The Holy Spirit is what brings together the most unlikely people and unites us as community, even through our many differences, and helps us to hold that paradox of oneness and diversity. The Spirit doesn’t ask us to conform so we’re all alike, but it does help us to communicate through the different languages we may speak.

For Reflection:

• What stirs in you as you reflect on Pentecost?

• Do you pray to the Holy Spirit? What is the Spirit like in your life and prayer?

• Is the Spirit nudging you toward anything now? Maybe take a moment to pray to the Spirit for guidance, courage, or whatever you may need?
