The gift of the Holy spirit

Hello everyone, my son is getting married so please pray for him and his fiancee that they put God first and know to work on His path to have peace and Joy. Amen and God is good.

God really wants the Body to be One as He is one.   Families must be one as well and sometimes it’s hard when we don’t walk on the right path because we all are broken in some area in our lives.  Each of us are messed up in our own little way but when we try and walk with Jesus, our lives become more peaceful.

Sunday is Pentecost in some churches and this is when we remember the gift of the Holy Spirit to the world.  Please pray for the 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit that God graces all of us with and helps us to have joy and peace on our journey.

Wisdom – Consider the first and greatest gift of all.  It acts upon both the intellect and the will.  It illumines the mind and instills and attraction to the divine. 

Understanding – Helps us to relate to all truths to one’s supernatural purpose.  Also gives us an understanding of the Sacred Scripture and an overall appreciation for God.

Counsel – Functions as a supernatural intuition, to enable us to judge promptly and rightly, especially in difficult situations.

Fortitude – Is identified with courage.  Basically, willingness to stand up for what’s right by God, even if it means accepting rejection.

Knowledge – This is when we can see things through God’s lenses.  This will allow us to perceive the greatness of God and His love.

Piety – Has to do with humility, trust and love.  This is when we depend on God and turn to Him to grow as brothers and sisters.

Fear of God - This is when we’re joyfully aware of God’s glory and greatness. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. 

The bottom line is we have to be receptive to these gifts because it does no good for the Holy Spirit to give us a gift if we refuse to receive it.  As we receive these gifts, the fruits of the Holy Spirit will show through us and these fruits are:

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control.

Let’s meditate on these gifts and try and accept all of God’s graces through the Holy Spirit. Through Family, through friends and within ourselves.
​
Amen and Thank You Jesus
