Meditation Writeup

Pentecost is the Church’s birthday, when the Holy Spirit descended as fire, igniting the Apostles’ hearts (Acts 2:3-4). Find a quiet space, sit comfortably, and close your eyes. Picture the Upper Room, where Mary and the Apostles prayed, a gentle wind stirring as flames of light rest above them. Breathe deeply, inhaling the Spirit’s peace, exhaling doubt. Reflect on John 14:26, “The Holy Spirit will teach you all things.” Visualize a warm flame in your heart, symbolizing the Spirit’s presence, filling you with love and courage. Slowly pray the Veni Sancte Spiritus, inviting the Spirit to renew you. Imagine Jesus standing before you, breathing His Spirit upon you as He did the Apostles (John 20:22). Feel empowered to live your faith boldly. Rest in this moment, trusting the Spirit guides you to be Christ’s witness. Carry this fire into your daily life, sharing His love.
