If your life were a movie, would those who come to watch know that you are on mission from Jesus Christ? 🎥

The Holy Spirit, living inside us, empowers us to live in such a way that it attracts others to Him. The Lord has placed you where you are for a reason — to serve friends, family, coworkers, acquaintances, strangers. We are all called to the mission of making disciples of all nations, regardless of vocation, age, or status.

Every time you come to Mass, you are being prepared to go on mission. The Lord will use you where you, all you need to do is allow Him to lead you.

How often do you call on the Holy Spirit for help? 🕊️

As baptized Christians, we should call on Him more than we realize. Jesus left His disciples with the Holy Spirit so they are not alone, and in the same way we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us.

As Christians our mission is to spread the Good News, and we need the Holy Spirit within us to do that.

Come, Holy Spirit, and dwell in our hearts to guide us on the path the Father has for us 🤍
